Future, the special-interest media group, announces that Robert Price will step down from his position as UK Chief Executive having accepted a role as UK Managing Director for Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

Robert will continue to manage all of his current responsibilities until his departure date is confirmed later in the summer.

"Robert will leave Future with our very best wishes.  He moves into an adjacent sector where his experience will be very valuable, and we look forward to working with him for many years to come. Until his departure, I'll spend more of my time working closely with him to manage our UK business to ensure it's business as usual."
