Ex-chairman of Jessops takes on new challenge at HMV

David Adams, former chairman of the embattled camera retailer Jessops, has again demonstrated his penchant for a challenge by joining the board of the troubled entertainment group HMV. He will join HMV, which made a loss of £16m for the year to 28 April, in June and chair its audit committee, replacing Christopher Rogers who is retiring from the board after six years. Shares in HMV were flat at 3.6p.
