Dawkins said: “This is a brilliant opportunity to lead a fantastic team and a strong business with our reach already exceeding 57 million weekly listeners. 

“Our high reach, brands and talent provide a strong foundation on which we will build, invest and innovate as we continue to explore the wider world of audio to benefit both listeners and advertisers.

Yvonne Bauer, owner and chief executive at Bauer Media Group, said: “Richard has not only been able to read the opportunities in the market but also ensure we take advantage of them, creating enormous value for the Bauer Media Group. 

“I look forward to starting a new era for Bauer Media Audio and continuing to shape the success of the business area.
