Johnson announced his decision to quit the promotional body last Thursday amid protests from the Leeds PR community about the appointment of Harrogate-based agency Northern Lights (PRWeek, 3 March).
However, a written statement from Marketing Leeds this week insisted that the departure of Johnson – appointed only six months ago – happened 'by mutual consent' before the agency selection process was carried out.
Marketing Leeds said it was currently recruiting for Johnson's successor.
