Centaur Media today named music supremo Andria Vidler as its new boss, just hours after former chief executive Geoffrey Wilmot abandoned a bid for the company.
Vidler, pictured, joins Centaur from EMI, where she ran the label and oversaw the rise of artists including Scottish singer-songwriter Emeli Sandé. She was previously managing director of the Capital and Magic FM radio stations. Her appointment came after Wilmot revealed that he and his backers had been unable to agree a price for Centaur with the company’s board. He was ousted from the group, which publishes titles including The Lawyer, in May as it issued a profits warning.
