Paul has been a great support to me in my role as chief executive officer and as I take on the additional responsibilities of executive chairman, it is appropriate to expand his role. Paul has been an outstanding contributor to the company, has a deep understanding of our business and is well respected throughout Network Ten and by the board.”
