Media Sales Netwok boss to leave firm for charity role

Bremend joined MSN as a sales executive in 1989 after working in regional press and directories. He was appointed to the board four years later and became managing director in June 2003.

My move to The Christie as legacy officer gives me the opportunity to use my experience in a new and challenging environment within a world-class charitable organisation”.
Angela Wilkinson, director of Media for MSN, commented: “John has made a great contribution to MSN and been an important part of the company’s success. We wish him well in his new role.
