Mark joins the Company from ITN Productions, which he launched in 2010 and is currently Group Managing Director, having developed a diverse and substantial international production company. Mark joined ITN nine years ago, at which point the business was a predominantly news focussed producer which was dependant on two news contracts with ITV and Channel 4. Under Mark's leadership, ITN has diversified into production and is one of the UK's leading factual, factual entertainment, sport, digital and commercial super-indies.

"We are delighted to welcome Mark as the new CEO of the Company. We consider Mark to be one of the industry's leading operators who has a proven track record of achieving significant growth in revenues and profitability in the factual TV genre, and we believe will be a perfect strategic fit to cement and grow Zinc Media's ambitions in the UK and international TV markets. Mark also has significant digital experience and we continue to believe that the crossover between traditional TV and digital will be key driver of future growth.
