LONDON - Chrysalis Radio has restructured the team selling its Heart, Galaxy and LBC airtime, creating a client development team and streamlining the sponsorship and promotions side.

The client development team will service new key clients and brand owners, under Alison Page, formerly the sponsorship and promotions controller.

The team will operate within the nine-strong business development department, with Page working alongside research manager Matt Littlestone and business development group head Laura Hill.

The sponsorship and promotion department has been reorganised into four key account management teams. Each team will work across Heart, Galaxy and LBC in addition to Guardian Media Group Radio's Smooth and Real Radio brands, and each will be allocated a roster of media agencies.

The department's director Richard Brinkman sees his job title change to non-spot sales director and he has also been placed in charge of the interactive team in order to offer clients cross-platform campaigns.

Don Thomson, commercial and operations director, said: "In an increasingly competitive environment, these changes demonstrate our continued commitment to offering a more integrated service to our clients."
