He is also the initiator, and will remain responsible for eTITLE, The VTR Group’s project to create an automated subtitling workflow system for broadcasters, subtitling companies and corporate users.
“I believe that the VTR plc board is greatly strengthened by Neil’s detailed operational knowledge of all parts of the Group,” said Paul Tracey. “Neil has a strong grasp of the way in which our industry is developing and we expect him to make a significant contribution to the group’s strategic direction. His understanding of business models and his ability as a communicator will also greatly assist him in his new role.”

Her time at TMR included setting up and running the production department for feature film and delivery, before being promoted to Operations Director in 2003.
