-          Newly promoted Heads of Department complete internal restructure

-          Gray Warner (Parlophone, Warner Music Group) joins as Label Manager

9th July, London:- Proper Music Distribution has promoted a number of key staff to Heads of Department as part of a major internal restructuring.

The recently created senior positions each manage one of five new departments within the business. This shift has seen Carol Zuma (formerly  Financial Controller) take on Head of Finance, Erica Day  (formerly Stock Control Manager) become Head of Inventory and Logistics, and Esther Tewkesbury  (formerly GM Product & Marketing) appointed Head of Product and Marketing.

They will work alongside Head of Technical Services Aaron Black and Proper Music Group’s Managing Director Drew Hill (who is temporarily acting Head of Sales), collectively making up the day-to-day management board of the company, which reports directly to the Board of Directors.

Furthermore, Proper has been joined by Gray Warner as Label Manager. Having started his career as an intern at Asylum/Atlantic Records, Gray worked his way up the Warner Music Group family, moving to the sales department as a Co-ordinator, and then Commercial Executive. Prior to joining Proper, he enjoyed a stint within Parlophone’s Label Services department as a Label Manager.

Proper MD Drew Hill commented: “Our recent restructure puts us in a stronger position than ever, and I’m very pleased to have Carol, Erica and Esther in these new senior positions alongside Aaron. Likewise, I’m delighted to welcome Gray to the business and am sure his experience at Parlophone and Warner will be of significant benefit to us going forward.”
