COI chief executive Lund to leave
The Central Office of Information’s chief executive Mark Lund is to stand down, having only joined from advertising agency Delaney Lund Knox Warren.
Lund is to leave to begin a new venture in the private sector, departing a week after the coalition Government announced that it was to extend its freeze on all ‘non-essential’ advertising until 2015.
"I was delighted to be appointed as COI chief executive and I am proud of what we have achieved in the last two years, but I can’t escape the fact that I am at heart someone who wants to run their own business more than anything else,” commented Lund.
He will continue in his role until May, with the search for a successor set to take place during the coming months.
