People and Business: HMV shake-up
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A SENIOR man at Boots is moving down the high street to head up Waterstone's, part of a boardroom shake-up at HMV Media Group. David Kneale joins HMV as managing director of Waterstone's from the Boots Company, where he is managing director for international retail development.
The move follows the departure of the current chief executive at HMV Media, Stuart McAllister, due to ill health.
Mr McAllister headed HMV Media since it was created by a management buyout last March. Alan Giles, who was running the group with Mr McAllister as well as managing Waterstone's, becomes sole chief executive.
