Media group Archant, whose titles include the East Anglian Daily Times and the Ipswich Star, has announced the resignation of Archant East managing director Miller Hogg to “pursue his dream to do something new outside of the company”.

Archant chief executive Jeff Henry said: “Miller has had aspirations to work alongside his wife Carole in their own venture for some time. He recently approached me about his future indicating he felt the time was right to pursue his dream to do something new outside the company.”

Mr Hogg will leave on November 30, with Archant main board director Johnny Hustler heading Archant East from December 1 on an interim basis while a permanent replacement is sought.

Mr Henry added: “Miller has made a huge contribution to Archant over the last eight years both in our Lifestyle business and over the last 12 months running Archant East.”
