The first stage in the closure of Jive Records' UK office takes place this week, with a number of staff due to leave the company.

It is understood that five Jive staff moved to BMG last week, including one press person and two product managers.

After a number of staff leave the company on Wednesday, a team of senior executives will remain at Jive's Willesden office. They include long-standing label head Steve Jenkins, as well as general manager Tina Wisby and marketing manager Hans Griffiths. This "transition team" will keep the office running through the summer and wind down the office at the end of August. It is understood a number of the team are in talks with BMG about possible future roles with the major.

The remaining Jive team will also oversee a number of releases during the summer, including singles from artists including Easyworld and Kealer. It is understood that promotions teams are already working on the projects ready for the releases.

The changes are being put in place when Jive is enjoying huge success ...
