Global Radio has taken Nicola Thomson from director of marketing for Heart, LBC and Galaxy, and promoted her to group director of marketing across the entire GCap/Global group.
Nicola was poached from Magic 105.4 last year where she held the position of marketing director.
Capital FM's director of marketing and events David Andrews will leave the company at the end of the year, after overseeing the Jingle Bell Ball during the run-up to Christmas.
Commenting on the appointment, Richard Park, executive director and Global's director of broadcasting said: “Nicola's track record at Magic speaks for itself, and as Global moves forward to build significant radio brands in the commercial sector she is the ideal person to have in this key position."
