Berkett eyes Virgin Media top job
Virgin Media's acting chief executive Neil Berkett has confirmed he is in the running for the top job and said he is treating his time in charge as if the post was his permanently.
Speaking to the Financial Times, Berkett said he wanted to appoint "a couple of new people" into senior roles in the coming months. He included his own former post of chief operating officer as one of these.
He was made acting chief executive last week following the surprise exit of Steve Burch, who said he was returning to the US for personal and family reasons.
City analysts had previously predicted that Virgin Media would find it difficult to replace Berkett due to uncertainty surrounding the company's future.
