Gillham Named MD, Concord UK & Europe
• Concord Recorded Music has promoted Fred Gillham to Managing Director of UK & Europe, expanding on his current role as Managing Director of the UK.
“Fred has proved an invaluable member of the global team and has shown great success in the UK market in a short period of time,” said Rebecca Berman and Michael Nance, co-SVPs of International. “We are thrilled to expand his role to UK and Europe, where his knowledge of both Concord’s repertoire and the European marketplace will bolster our European operations and further develop the careers of our artists and our business as a whole.”
Gillham joined Concord in 2019 from Universal, where he was VP of International for their partner labels. He opened Concord’s first UK Recorded Music office with a mission to build a first-class team to take control of all campaigns for Concord Recorded Music’s labels — Fantasy, Rounder, Loma Vista Recordings, Easy Eye Sound, Fearless Records, KIDZ BOP and the rich catalogue under Craft Recordings; while also managing Concord’s local distribution relationships.
“I’m excited to continue the expansion of our team in Europe,” Gillham said. “Our global approach has proven we can bring great international results for our U.S. repertoire, but the same approach has also brought success and opportunity in the U.S. for our UK artists and catalogue. We know there are a lot of artists and repertoire holders in UK and Europe who are looking for this approach and we know we can offer that to them.” [Gillham photo courtesy of Concord]
