Said Dollimore, who started running RCA U.K. in 2016, "During my seven years at RCA U.K., I've been very proud to have built, led and mentored an incredible label group and worked with brilliant partners, management teams, writers and producers whom I'll be collaborating with again in the future. I have had the privilege of working with some of the most talented artists in the U.K., including
Biig Piig,
Jade Thirlwall and Cat Burns, who all have huge careers ahead of them. It has been a fantastic journey from building the
Ministry of Sound label from scratch to becoming part of the Sony family and I wish Stacey, Glyn and RCA U.K. all the best for the future.”
