The announcement was made by veteran entrepreneur and founder of the Group, Ben Murray-Bruce, who described the appointment as the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the organisation after decades of building the Silverbird brand across media, entertainment, hospitality, real estate, and strategic business development in Africa and the United Kingdom.
According to Ben Murray-Bruce, Roy Murray-Bruce brings more than four decades of leadership experience, strategic vision, and governance expertise to the role. As former President of Silverbird Group, Roy was instrumental in the company’s expansion across television, radio broadcasting, cinemas, retail, and property development.
