“I thank Bruce for his significant contribution to Seven West Media and Seven Group Holdings and wish him and Nicky all the best in the future.”
SWM Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, James Warburton, said:
“Bruce is a doyen of the media industry and has been a fundamental part of all the corporate moves at Seven for more than two decades.

“Working with Kerry Stokes and James Warburton in his two iterations at Seven has never been dull. I’m very proud of my association with Seven and the Seven team, and I wish them every success in the years ahead. Moving forward, I’ll be focused on my corporate and media advisory and property interests.”
