Previously appointed to a range of boards including chair of The Met Office by the UK Government, Woodward\u2019s Two Rivers\u2019 appointment reunites him with Two Rivers\u2019 founder, Alan Clements, with whom he worked for nine years at STV.<\/p>\n<p>Founded by Clements in January with backing from Kew Media, Noble Grossart and Channel 4\u2019s Indie Growth Fund, Two Rivers is already receiving a wide range of commissions including <em>The Small Hand<\/em> (w\/t), an adaptation of the Susan Hill book, for Channel 5; <em>Frankie Boyle\u2019s Tour of Scotland<\/em> (w\/t) for BBC Two; and <em>Children of the Devolution<\/em> for BBC Scotland. The company is also currently in advanced development on projects for a number of U.K. broadcasters.<\/p>\n<p>Woodward said: \u201cTwo Rivers is perfectly poised to take advantage of the growing appetite for exceptional quality programming made outside of London. In a very short space of time, Alan has assembled an exceptional senior creative team that is dynamic, passionate and creatively innovative. I\u2019m impressed with Two Rivers\u2019 collective drive and ambition to build a multi-genre company of scale to serve the Scottish, U.K. and international markets based in Glasgow. With much of the industry\u2019s ambitions now being focused in the nations and regions, Two Rivers is perfectly positioned, not just in terms of location but also in terms of outstanding experience. I am thrilled to be joining them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clements added: \u201cIt is fantastic to have the opportunity to work with Rob again. Not only does he have a successful business track record, but he is also experienced at operating at the highest levels of the media industry, so is a very exciting appointment for Two Rivers. His commercial and leadership skills will play a key role in helping us move the company to the next stage of its development.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Glasgow-based indie Two Rivers Media has tapped Rob Woodward to be chair of its board.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":9777,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[239,1877],"class_list":["post-9776","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-rob-woodward","tag-two-rivers-media"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Two Rivers Names Rob Woodward as New Chair - TVEUROPE<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/12\/02\/two-rivers-names-rob-woodward-as-new-chair\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Two Rivers Names Rob Woodward as New Chair - TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Glasgow-based indie Two Rivers Media has tapped Rob Woodward to be chair of its board.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/12\/02\/two-rivers-names-rob-woodward-as-new-chair\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-12-02T16:46:57+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-12-02T17:52:22+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/07\/Rob-Woodward-two-rivers-1219.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"450\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/12\/02\/two-rivers-names-rob-woodward-as-new-chair\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/12\/02\/two-rivers-names-rob-woodward-as-new-chair\/\",\"name\":\"Two Rivers Names Rob Woodward as New Chair - TVEUROPE\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-12-02T16:46:57+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-12-02T17:52:22+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/12\/02\/two-rivers-names-rob-woodward-as-new-chair\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/12\/02\/two-rivers-names-rob-woodward-as-new-chair\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/12\/02\/two-rivers-names-rob-woodward-as-new-chair\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Two Rivers Names Rob Woodward as New Chair\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\",\"name\":\"TVEUROPE\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
