We’re very proud of our strong reputation on the global stage for ensuring that production companies retain a central role throughout our distribution activities. Graham’s appointment underlines our continued commitment to building on this success and will further position Kew Media Distribution as the go-to sales house for top production talent across all genres.”

Begg added: “Television content is more popular than ever with the quality and appeal of prime-time drama, event programming and signature non-scripted features and series continuing to rise across the globe. I am delighted to be re-joining Greg and his team at Kew Media Distribution at an exciting time in the company’s growth, and to play my part in their continued success as a leading producer and distributor of multi-genre content worldwide.”
