Comms chief Paul Moore joins ITV plc

Paul Moore, easyJet Communications and Public Affairs Director, joins ITV plc as Group Corporate Affairs and Communications Director.

“I have had an amazing seven years at easyJet and have enjoyed every minute of it. However, I feel that I would benefit from moving on to join one of Britain’s best known and most liked companies with lots of new and different challenges to the ones we face at easyJet. Making that transition will be made easier by working again with Carolyn and I am really looking forward to joining a great company in a dynamic and exciting sector.” – Paul Moore

The recruitment process for his successor at easyJet has already started and Moore will join ITV at its conclusion. Moore was a key member of the management board that re-energised the airline’s reputation and delivered record returns for shareholders.

Before joining easyJet in 2010, Moore was Group Public Affairs and Communications Director for FirstGroup, the world’s largest private sector transport operator and, before that, he spent a decade being Director of Corporate Affairs at Virgin Atlantic Airways and Virgin Management.

“Paul has run communications for some fantastic high profile brands and businesses and I’m delighted that he is joining ITV. He brings with him a wealth of PR experience and communications expertise and will be a real asset to ITV as we refresh the strategy and plan for the future.” – Carolyn McCall, ITV Chief Executive
