Waterman ends PRS rift
Pete Waterman is returning to the PRS fold as a consultant director just
11 months after he quit the society's council after a row with a fellow
director.
Waterman accepted an invitation back on to the council last week,
although he cannot stand as a full director until the society annual
general meeting in September. As a consultant director, he has no
voting rights.
PRS chairman Andrew Potter says, "Pete is a very important player in
the industry and has been a very articulate member of the board
in the past. A number of directors were enthusiastic about getting him
back." A seat was available on the board following Wayne Bickerton's
resignation in January.
Waterman, who will take on the new role from the next scheduled board
meeting on April 24, quit following a row with fellow council member
Trevor Lyttleton last May. Lyttleton was voted off the council at
September's AGM. Waterman was unavailable for comment.
