TWR Arrows man leaves after one year as director

Formula One team TWR Arrows has parted company with commercial

director Hugh Morgan after 15 months.

It is not known whether Morgan, who joined from rugby union club

Harlequins in September last year, has a job to go to. He was

unavailable for comment as Marketing went to press.

An Arrows spokeswoman said it had not decided whether Morgan would be

replaced. Head of marketing Steve Hood now reports to Arrows team

principal Tom Walkinshaw.

The Arrows team, whose sponsors include title backer mobile phone giant

Orange and Red Bull, is involved in a legal spat with Coral Eurobet,

which backed the team in a deal worth around £8m until the end of

the current season. Arrows is claiming Coral still owes the team a

significant amount of unpaid sponsorship money.

Last week it emerged that rival F1 team Benetton had lost its third

commercial chief in less than 18 months. Carsten Schneider is understood

to have left the company without a job to go to.
