Cathy Thomas: almost 20 years with SCA

Southern Cross Austereo has appointed Cathy Thomas as general manager of its Melbourne operation.

I’m pleased to hand the reins of our Melbourne business to Cathy, and I have every confidence in her abilities to continue to evolve our market leading brands.”
