Ten Network Holdings Limited today announced the appointment of Stuart Thomas as company secretary, effective 23 December 2016.

Thomas takes on the new role in addition to his responsibilities as the company’s general counsel, a position he has held since August 2013. The appointment of Thomas to the additional role follows the retirement of TEN company secretary Stephen Partington, effective 23 December 2016.

Partington has worked for the company for 20 years, initially as general counsel and more recently as company secretary. 

TEN chief executive officer, Paul Anderson, said: “Stephen has made an invaluable contribution to our business. He has decided to step back from day-to-day work and focus on his private business interests. He leaves with our sincere thanks for two decades of dedicated service and our very best wishes for the future.

“Stuart has been our General Counsel for more than three years, responsible for all our legal and commercial arrangements, and I would like to congratulate him on his expanded responsibilities.”
