Sarah Wright Upped at Sky

LONDON: Sarah Wright, the controller of acquisitions for Sky Entertainment, has been elevated to controller of acquisitions for Sky, taking on Sky Movies under her remit.

Wright is taking over for Simon Rexworthy, currently the controller of acquisitions for Sky Movies, who is transitioning to Sky’s strategy team. Additionally, Holly Comiskey and Lucy Criddle have been upped to the roles of senior acquisitions manager for Movies and Entertainment, respectively.

"Sky’s focus will be always be on giving our customers what they want, and our acquisitions team are central to this, in selecting the best entertainment and movies out there," commented Ian Lewis, the director of Sky Movies and director of acquisitions at Sky. “While we’re sad to lose Simon, who’s been an enormous asset to the team, I’m confident that Sarah’s experience makes her the perfect candidate to take on the Movies role. Lucy and Holly have a great track record—whether securing our brand new entertainment shows such as Arrow, or our acquisition of all 23 Bond films from October. I’m sure under Sarah’s expert guidance, the team will secure an even more impressive portfolio of content for our customers in future.”
