Virgin Radio has made its head of agency sales redundant and merged

its client and agency sales operations into a single division.

Carol McCormack, the former head of agency sales, has lost her job at

Virgin following the changes, but is considering other opportunities

within Scottish Media Group.

McCormack has worked for Virgin Radio's agency sales team for the past

four years. She previously worked as a senior sales executive at ITV

sales house Laser.

Mark Swift, sales director at Virgin Radio, has promoted Giles Ivey, the

former head of client sales, to sales head, assuming control of the

newly-merged team.

Meanwhile, Steve Taylor, group enterprises director, has taken on a

wider role and will be responsible for all non-spot sales.

Radio buyers said Swift had been looking to make changes since he

arrived, as he believed there were 'too many chiefs running the show'.
