Euro Media Group strengthens management structure in the UK posted: 02/06/2020
Euro Media Group, one of Europe's leading provider of broadcast facilities and services, active in 8 European countries, further strengthens its UK presence with the formation of an EMG UK Board consisting of Chairman Barry Johnstone, CEO Peter Bates and CFO Andy Maries.
EMG in the UK is represented by 4 companies ACS, BRF, CTV & Telegenic. While operational integration between these four companies has been ongoing over
the past few years, there was up to now no formal overarching management structure to EMG UK.
Building on core values of delivery, innovation and excellence, this represents an important strategic move by EMG as the Group is on a mission to better
integrate their services in order to strengthen its operational capabilities across all of its markets and towards its clients.
The UK is for our Group a key market and a market in which our clients very actively push technology and innovation. By integrating the non-commercial aspects of ACS, BRF, CTV and Telegenic, we want to further strengthen our position and draw on the wealth of talent that exists across all four companies, said Patrick van den Berg, co-CEO of Euro Media Group.
EMG UK's CEO, Peter Bates added: This is an exciting and unique opportunity to become part of a team that will combine the talents and resources of all four EMG UK companies and build an operation that will position us as leaders in the UK OB market. The world of outside broadcasting is evolving more rapidly than ever, and innovation together with an agile and flexible approach will be key to embracing the changes ahead
