Wendy Palmer said: “It has been an absolute privilege to be part of such a brilliant team of people – I cannot thank them enough.

“I wish them all the very best for the future.”
MediaWorks ceo Michael Anderson said: “We are really sad to lose Wendy but understand her decision to move on. She leaves our radio business in strong shape and poised to move forward and capitalise on its leading position – thanks to her brilliant leadership and work with her teams and with clients.
