UK Music founder to step down

UK Music Chair ANDY HEATH will leave in 2020, 11 years after founding the trade body. Heath has served on the Council of the Music Publishers Association since 1989, and sat on the boards of PRS For Music and the Mechanical Copyright Protection Society prior to starting UK Music. He is also a co-founder and former Chair of British Music Rights. Heath will stay on until a replacement has been found for UK Music Chief Executive MICHAEL DUGHER, who announced his resignation last week.
