HMV Group plc today announces the appointment of Trevor Moore as
Chief Executive in succession to Simon Fox.
Trevor Moore joins from Jessops where he was Chief Executive
until recently and he has a strong track record in consumer facing
businesses including HSBC and Whitbread.
Simon Fox has decided to leave HMV after six years as CEO. He
will remain in post until Trevor Moore arrives on 3 September to
ensure a smooth handover.
Philip Rowley, HMV Chairman, said: "On behalf of the Board, I
want to thank Simon for his contribution to HMV. He has led the
Company through a turbulent period for the entertainment retailing
industry and has played an invaluable part in securing HMV's
future, not least by strengthening relations with suppliers and
successfully refinancing HMV's bank borrowings.
"We are delighted to have recruited someone of Trevor's calibre.
He has the right skills and experience to lead HMV in the coming
years."
Trevor Moore said: "HMV is a great company and a fantastic brand
and I look forward to building on its position as the UK's leading
entertainment retailer."
Simon Fox said: "I am proud to be leaving HMV with a profitable
future secured. The appointment of Trevor Moore means that I will
be leaving the Company in safe hands."
