Ferguson says, “I'm excited to be joining such a forward looking organisation at such a challenging and interesting time."

Sony BMG UK chairman Ged Doherty adds, "We are determined to give music fans more and more ways to interact with our music. Graeme' s understanding of brands and digital content will be invaluable to us in achieving that goal. I am delighted that he is joining our company."
