JPIMedia has announced the departure of its editor-in-chief Jeremy Clifford, as well as group commercial director Andy Sumner, company secretary Peter McCall, group development director Jason Rowse-Davies and interim chief financial officer Cormac O’Shea following a takeover of the regional publisher.

The move was announced by the company’s new executive chairman David Montgomery.

Montgomery said:

“In the first weeks we have been greatly encouraged by the passion and quality of the team we have met.

“However, as is typically the case following a change in ownership, we have decided to make some changes to allow the new management team to take over the leadership of the business”.

“All five have played a key role in managing this group through a very challenging period in its history.

“Each one has shown enormous skill, commitment and professionalism in overcoming the challenges faced by the sector and have contributed to creating a business with a flexible technology platform and a strong digital ethos.

“It is with this strong base that the new management team can now build out our strategy, and I would like to personally thank each of Andy, Jeremy, Peter, Jason and Cormac for their considerable contribution to JPIMedia over the years, and most recently for effecting a smooth transition of the business to National World.”
