Nielsen Online's UK managing director departs in restructure

A spokesman told Research that Brooks had left the company as part of a reorganisation, but no further details were divulged at the time of going to press.

Brooks was given the role in April 2008 having previously spent time at publishing houses Emap, Centaur Communications and Reed Business Information.

Under his stewardship Nielsen was awarded the contract to run the UK Online Measurement Company’s (UKOM) web audience measurement service last year.
