Kim Glover (born, 19) is an English music manager best known for overseeing the careers of New Kids on The Block, Let Loose and B*witched, as well as helping to manage and develop the careers of Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, David Essex and others. She is also Chief Executive of Kim Glover Management based in London, which she founded in 1993.

Professional Career
Kim started her illustrious career in 1978 at Magnet Record's as part of the radio promotions team for Michael Levy (now Lord Levy of Magnet Records) handling artists such as Chris Rea, Darts, Matchbox and Bad Manners, where she was soon promoted to head of TV and Radio.

With her reputation growing, Kim left to set up her own independent radio and TV promotions company Girl Friday, where she promoted artists as diverse as Michael Jackson, The Cult, David Essex, Altered Images, Jimmy Nail, Icicle Works, Barry Manilow and Meatloaf among others.

Kim was then headhunted in 1987 by the famous record company Head Honcho Clive Davis to join Arista Records to plan and lead radio and TV promotion campaigns for the likes of Whitney Houston, Carly Simon, Taylor Dayne, The Four Tops, Kenny G, Dionne Warwick, Grateful Dead, Barry Manilow, Patti Smith, and the queen of soul Aretha Franklin.

After reaching the pinnacle of in-house promotions, Kim decided to reform Girl Friday Promotions. As soon as the industry heard this she was deluged with offers, the first of which came from CBS and this is where history was made.

After a year of handling the TV and radio promotions campaign for New Kids On The Block, their manager Dick Scott asked her to come on board with the management to fully keep moving forward the worldwide phenomenon that was taking place. Together Kim and Dick Scott set up the UK office in South Molton Street with a further office in Los Angeles alongside the office in Manhattan, New York. Together they also managed Snap, Tiffany, and Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch: opening the doors for Mark Wahlberg to become a top Hollywood actor, with his brother Donnie now following in his footsteps.

More recently Kim has discovered and managed some of the UK’s biggest and most successful groups including B*Witched, whose many record breaking achievements included 4 consecutive number 1’s, Let Loose, whose phenomenally selling single single “Crazy 4 U” was only kept off the top spot by the equally phenomenal ‘Love Is All Around’ and of course PJ and Duncan whose pop career, guided by Kim, was the launch pad for Ant and Dec’s continued success.

And added to this is her royal connection …
