FORMER Barnsley East MP Michael Dugher has been appointed as chief executive of the music industry trade body UK Music.
Mr Dugher, who was a Labour MP for the seat from 2010, announced he was leaving the House of Commons last month and he will become the third chief executive since UK Music was launched in 2008.
His appointment follows a recruitment process which began after Jo Dipple announced in January she was to step down after five years as chief executive.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
