TRX Advisory Board Appoints Stephen Lambert

LONDON: Studio Lambert CEO Stephen Lambert has joined the advisory board of TRX, an online marketplace for secondary TV and video rights.

Lambert is a well known creative television exec in both the U.K. and U.S. His credits include the unscripted hits Gogglebox, Undercover Boss, Wife Swap, Four in a Bed, Secret Millionaire, Tattoo Fixers and Faking It. He founded Studio Lambert, a production company, in 2008 with the help of All3Media.

TRX, a 100-percent subsidiary of Dial Square 86, was founded by David and Matthew Frank in 2015. The company is slated to launch this year. Other members of the advisory board include Nadine Nohr, former chief executive of Shine International and former head of ITV’s distribution business, and John McVay, chief executive of independent producers’ association Pact.

Lambert commented: “Since I first heard about TRX from David, I’ve been a huge fan. Like all great innovations, it is simple and yet brilliant. I have become a significant investor in the business and I’m looking forward to the challenge of getting TRX established and building the company with David, Matthew and the team. It has huge potential to become an enterprise of real scale within a relatively short space of time—and that’s exciting.”

David Frank, executive chairman of TRX, added: “I’m thrilled to be working with Stephen again. In my view he is simply the most talented creative executive working in television today. But he combines his creative excellence with a proven and highly successful entrepreneurial instinct—getting huge satisfaction, as I do, from growing businesses. I think his insight, connections and drive for innovation will prove invaluable to TRX.”
