EMI names former Capital MD Andria Vidler as its new UK & Ireland president

By Ben Cardew

EMI is "leading the way" in shaking up the workings of the music industry, according to the woman who will head the major's UK and Ireland operations from this summer.

EMI last week named former Capital and Magic 105.4 managing director Andria Vidler as its UK and Ireland president. Vidler, currently chief marketing officer at Bauer Media, will lead all of EMI Music's operations in the UK and Ireland, reporting to EMI Music European president David Kassler.

Vidler acknowledges that she has some big shoes to fill - the post's previous incumbent was Tony Wadsworth, a popular character in the industry who stepped down from the major in 2008 but continues in his role of BPI chairman.

However, she says she loves challenges and is very excited about starting the role.

"I think Elio [EMI Music CEO Elio Leoni-Sceti] has moved things on considerably," she adds. "EMI is leading the way in the industry in changing how things work."
