Lord Sugar steps down from YouView

YouView announced today that Lord Sugar will step down from his role as non-executive chairman in the next few weeks.
Lord Sugar said, “When I joined YouView in 2011, my brief from the shareholders was to use my experience in the electronics industry to get the product to market and into the homes of consumers. Having done that successfully, my job is complete and I will now focus my time and attention into my other businesses.”

YouView announced that Sir Charles Dunstone has been named interim chairman effective immediately while YouView is searching for a permanent non-executive chairman.
As Chairman of TalkTalk Group, Sir Charles has been involved with YouView since TalkTalk became a shareholder in 2009.
