Remarkable Television MD Steps Down

LONDON: Colette Foster, joint managing director of Remarkable Television, has decided to leave the company after eight years.

After joining Remarkable, an Endemol Shine Group company, in 2007 as executive producer, Foster went on to develop and oversee numerous factual-entertainment hits. She took on her current role in 2009. Foster is planning to officially exit the post this summer.

Foster commented: “I’ve had the most amazing time at Endemol and I’m proud to have been part of a brilliant team. In just six years we’ve grown Remarkable Television into a huge brand, selling our hit shows all over the world—and that success is set to continue with many exciting shows in the pipeline. I couldn’t have done it without the energy and determination of an incredibly talented team and I’d like to take this opportunity to thank them personally. My decision to leave couldn’t have been tougher and whilst I’m hugely excited about my next move, which I can’t reveal just yet, it will be very hard to say goodbye when the time comes.”

“Colette has delivered an incredible succession of hits for Remarkable over the last eight years,” said Richard Johnston, CEO of Endemol Shine UK.  “Her track record of producing the very best in factual entertainment is quite exceptional and we owe her heartfelt thanks for all she has done during her time here as well as our very best wishes for her next endeavor.”
