Progressive's Carole Oag Retires

In the UK, Carole Oag is to retire as Group Managing Director of MR agency Progressive Partnership after thirty years with the company.

From tomorrow, Oag will step down from the Group MD Role, although she will still stay on as Financial Director on a consultancy basis. During her time at the helm, Progressive says she has steered the company through may changes in the industry, 'adapting to the increasingly competitive environment with clever research solutions and aided by the necessary resources and support frameworks'.

She leaves the company in the experienced hands of joint Managing Directors Diane McGregor and Sarah Ainsworth. 'Carole has created such a vibrant and creative company' says Ainsworth, 'and the people here are partly made by her nurturing and business coaching. She is a very hard act to follow but Diane and I will keep the Progressive flag flying safe in the knowledge that she is not far away. We wish you luck Carole.'

Oag herself comments: 'Today is a very sad day as Progressive has been a huge part of my life and acted as a second family at times. I feel so honoured to have worked with so many wonderful clients throughout the years and will miss the brilliant friends I have made in the industry. But hey ho, it's been a long time coming!'
