THE FAMILY APPOINT HARLOW AS JOINT MD

CREATIVE DESIGN agency, The Family, has appointed Roger Harlow as joint Managing Director, taking up the position along side current owner / MD Andrew Robinson from October.
The appointment effectively doubles the strength of the management side of the company with Harlow assuming responsibility for developing the business and expanding into new markets.
The move also allows Robinson to concentrate on his key role as Creative Director.
With over fifteen years in the television industry, including terms at post production house, Todd-AO, and more recently as director of sales at Liberty Livewire's Studio Services division, Harlow's core expertise lies in the TV broadcast market.
At a time of a perceived slowdown in the market, The Family are experiencing a
period of expansion with an increasing number of new briefs from a growing client roster seeking TV expertise.
Robinson said: "At this stage of the company's development we are keen to capitalise on Roger's wealth of experience and management expertise. Ultimately this will allow me to focus on developing new areas of business while devoting more time to my role of creative director. This is a big decision for us both and, whilst nothing comes with guarantees, I believe our combined creative and business reputations will enable us to build on the company's core strengths and success into the future."
Established in 1995, The Family have continued to grow consistently year on year offering clients, such as Granada, BBC, Laureus, IBM, Royal Mail, Armourcoat and AmEx, creative design services across all disciplines and media. (CD)
