Polestar is shortly expected to reveal more details of its future operational structure in the wake of Tony Rudstons departure and Jim Browns elevation to chief executive.
Sources in the industry had suggested that Chris Pavlosky, the chief operating officer appointed in February, and the man tipped by some to take over from Rudston when he stepped down, was thinking of leaving the group only four months into his tenure after Brown was promoted.
However, this is no longer thought to be a likely conclusion. Polestar is also seeking a replacement for Brown as finance director.
Pavlosky joined Polestar from Courage, Scottish Courages southern on-trade distribution arm, in February (PrintWeek 11 February) to take responsibility for the groups UK operations, giving Rudston the freedom to concentrate on the groups growth and possible strategic European acquisitions.
At the time Rudston described Pavlosky, who was also managing director of John Smiths for a period, as a contender for his position if and when he stood down.
Nonetheless, Brown was the man chosen for the top post when Rudston retired last month (PrintWeek, 26 May).
