Hodson expected to hand reins to Blanc
Industry speculation is mounting that Oval chief executive Philip Hodson could be about to hand over the reins to his second-in-command Peter Blanc.
Oval refused to comment, but market sources suggested that the business has been gearing up for Hodson’s by making a number of board-level change over the past six months.
He would be expected to maintain a significant holding in the company and seat on the board after stepping down from an executive role. Hodson is currently chairman of Marylebone Cricket Club – a demanding and time-consuming secondary role.
Blanc was appointed deputy-chief executive in September last year. He was given a strategic and management role in preparation for Hodson’s departure.
