Media firm Global’s group chief executive Stephen Miron is set to step down from his role after an extensive 16-year stint at the helm.
He will remain in his role until March 2025. Upon Miron’s exit, Global chairman Lord Charles Allen will become the company’s senior non-executive director.
Having first joined in 2008, shortly after Allen in 2007, Miron helped Global revolutionise the commercial radio market – establishing a media empire that now includes household radio brands such as Capital, Heart and LBC.
When I created Global, I knew that I needed someone special to help take my vision and turn it into reality. I’m so proud of what we have achieved so far, and along the way Stephen & I have forged a very special partnership. He is the most incredible leader and, with his hand-picked team of board and senior executives, Stephen has transformed Global commercially into the success that the company is today,” Global founder and executive president, Ashley Tabor-King said.

“When Stephen joined Global in 2008, he was always clear with me on how long he would be Global’s CEO and that at a certain point in time, he would hand the baton of CEO over to someone else – that time has come, and next spring, I’m delighted to say he will become our Chairman.
Global has since gone on to invest significantly in out-of-home media since 2018 and is now one of the largest out-of-home advertising companies on the British market.
Miron added: : “It’s been an absolute privilege to have been the Group CEO of Global for the last 16 years and I shall always be grateful to Ashley for giving me the opportunity to join Global back in 2008.
“This is without doubt the greatest CEO job in Media & Entertainment and I’ve been fortunate enough to have had the best seat in the house alongside Ashley, and am immensely proud of what we’ve achieved together. It’s been an honour to lead a company with so many special and talented people, and I’m delighted that I’ll still get the chance to remain part of the Global family when I take up the role as Chairman of the main Global board in March 2025.”
