Tom Mockridge to become CEO of Virgin Media
Mike Fries: Hi, I'm Mike Fries, CEO of Liberty Global, speaking to you from Surrey where we're at a strategy conference with other Liberty Global executives and I'm really excited to be here with Tom Mockridge, who we've just announced will be the new CEO of Virgin Media upon the closing of that transaction.
Tom and I have known each other for over 15 years. He's a fantastic executive. He has an amazing track record working with News Corp for over two decades, in at least five different countries managing complex operations and very competitive and dynamic media markets. He's a perfect choice for this job. He's a thoughtful leader. He's a great listener. He happens to be a Kiwi just like Neil, but that's a coincidence, nothing more.
Neil has done a fantastic job of course and I have great respect for Neil. We're going to miss him, we're all going to miss him a ton. But I'm really confident about putting the company in the hands of Tom Mockridge here and I would like to introduce him to you now and have him say a couple of words.
Tom Mockridge: Thanks, Mike. Thanks for those very generous words. Could I join you in first acknowledging the great role that Neil played at Virgin Media. The business has truly achieved world-class success in the last five years and that's something that I've seen as an outsider and it's been recognised across the sector and I think that's clearly down to the leadership of Neil and the whole team, of everyone at Virgin.
Look, it's a privilege for me to be joining this business, the market leader in the communications and media segment. It's a great brand, well executed, a very customer-focused business and really I want to work with you to maintain that success. It's not about changing the things that Virgin Media has been doing. It's going to be about working with Liberty Global, with Mike and his team and the great resources and skills and experience they can bring from across the European markets to further grow
the Virgin Media business and also about opportunities for people in Virgin Media to look at the European markets and both contribute and to learn from those.
So for me it's a privilege to be joining the company and I'm absolutely looking forward to it and I thank Mike very much for the opportunity. And I've met his team at Liberty Global and they're good people. And now I'm beginning to meet the team at Virgin Media and I'm sure we're going to find a lot in common and we'll have a great cooperation going forward.
MF: So the transaction as you maybe know is set to close in early June. Tom will be, I think, with Neil travelling around a little bit and listening and getting to know you over the next several weeks. So look out for him and we'll speak to you soon.
