Jeff Ford Exiting Ireland’s TV3

DUBLIN: Jeff Ford is leaving his post as the director of content at TV3 in Ireland in April, planning to relocate to the U.K. and assume a new role with FOX International Channels.

The relocation puts Ford back near his home in London. He said in a statement: “It is with great sadness that I leave TV3. It’s been a wonderful period and now is such an exciting time for the Group with so many impressive plans in the schedule for 2015 and beyond.

"I always intended to leave by the end of 2015, but the arrival of my first grandchild in January brought forward these plans to return to the U.K.

"I have met some wonderful colleagues who have become great friends during my time in Ireland and TV3 will continue to have my support into the future. I wish the company every success.” 

David McRedmond, TV3 Group CEO, said: “Although we're very sorry to see Jeff leave, I wish him and his wife Tracy a very happy return to the U.K., and thank Jeff for his massive contribution to TV3 and for his personal warmth and friendship.

“We are advanced in finding Jeff's replacement and hope to confirm an appointment by March.”
