NTL has had a top level shake-up ready for it's merger with fellow cable
telco Telewest.
Stephen Burch
has been appointed as NTL's president and CEO and he will keep this role after
the two companies are merged. He has extensive experience in the cable and telco
market having been with US cable outfit Comcast for the last 17 years.Simon
Duffy, who was the previous CEO becomes the executive vice chairman, and will
still try drive the
Virgin deal which he masterminded.
"Since joining the company in March of 2003, Simon has helped
lay the foundation that has enabled NTL to reach the next phase of
the company’s evolution. Against that backdrop, and recognizing that
the company’s enhanced scale and presence now requires a greater
focus on external management, Simon will concentrate on that area."
"We will look to Stephen to lead NTL through our merger with
Telewest." |

Rumours have it that the appointment was pressured by US investors on NTL who
see Mr Burch as a 'golden boy'.
