The Chairman of the UK’s Concert Promoters Association, Stuart Littlewood, has stepped down after 15 years in the role.
Littlewood was previously treasurer of the CPA for 12 years, bringing his total tenure to 25 years.
Phil Bowdery, President Of Touring International at Live Nation, will take over from Littlewood following an election at the CPA.
Bowdery said: “I would like to pass on my sincere thanks to Stuart for his incredible leadership over the past 15 years. I have some very big shoes to fill but I’m looking forward to the challenge.
“I only hope I can go some way to emulating Stuart’s success and achievements.”
Stuart Littlewood commented: “I would like to thank members of the Executive Council, both past and present, and the wider membership of the CPA for their support and encouragement during my tenure.
“I thought that it was the right time to pass on the baton to someone else and I can think of no-one better than Phil Bowdery whom I have known for many years.
“I look forward to helping Phil and the CPA in any way that I can in the future.”Music Business Worldwide
