Market reacts to appointmentInvestors have reacted positively to the appointment as the period of uncertainty at the top of ITV has finally ended. Norman has significant experience at heading high-profile businesses. He has worked for companies such as Woolworths, DIY chain B&Q and supermarket group Asda. Norman also has been involved with the even more every-day business of utilities, serving on the boards of British Rail and the power company Energis.
