Glastonbury Festival's longtime head of production, Dick Tee, has resigned due to "concerns" over the way the festival is being managed.

Tee, who has worked with the festival for 18 years, released a statement via Event Industry News announcing his departure.

He said: "I am extremely sad and disappointed that my concerns regarding the way certain elements of the festival are now being structured and managed are not being adequately considered and dealt with, and as such I have found myself in an untenable position regarding my continuing role."

Tee took over the production management of the two main stages in 1997, and was twice voted Production Manager Of The Year by his colleagues.

Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that, despite ticket sales of £25 million, Glastonbury onnly made a £764,000 profit last year. Most of the festival's proceeds though, are donated to charity.
