Moving on

Adrian Van Klaveren, 57, (Bristol Grammar and St John's College, Oxford) is reported to be moving on from the BBC, after starting out as a News trainee back in 1983. As Controller of Radio 5Live from 2008 to 2012, he oversaw the lift and shift of the network from W12 to Salford, without, apparently, moving from own home base in Hampshire. In December 2010, the station hit a peak audience of 7.1m listeners a week.

Always helpful, he was put in to 'mind' Newsnight at senior level in the wake of the Savile-non-broadcast, but sadly was in place when another team fumbled a story about Lord McAlpine. He was moved to a job supervising WW1 commemorations and specials, but was soon back in BBC News as 'Head of Strategic Change'; most recently his attention was turned to the World Service 2020 Programme, making sure new Foreign Office money was spent as fast as it came in.
