Ramsay, Son & Parker announced the appointment of Stuart Lowe as MD this afternoon, Friday, 9 May 2008. He is to succeed Harold Eedes, who retires at the end of June 2008 after almost 40 years with the company.
Eedes, the son-in-law of the late Norton Ramsay, has been MD for the last nine years. While he has relinquished his responsibilities as publisher of Wine and Hotel & Restaurant, he will continue as a non-executive member of the board.
"It is a real privilege to head up this 75-year-old media company, which has an impressive history in specialist media and exciting prospects for extending that content into multiple platforms," commented Lowe. "The strong brands and great people at RS&P will ensure our growth and future success."
Lowe has a long history in the publishing industry. He joined Ramsay, Son & Parker 10 years ago as circulation and marketing executive of the company's consumer magazines. In 2005 he joined the board of directors and was simultaneously appointed publisher of the company's flagship title Car, which has shown significant growth under his management. Wiel and Leisure Wheels were added to his portfolio when these joined the stable under the RS&P Automotive banner in 2006.
"Stuart's appointment comes after a long and thorough selection process. He will bring substantial energy, enthusiasm, experience and innovation to the position," said the company's chairman Alan Ramsay, adding that a replacement publisher for RS&P Automotive would now be sought.
