They will both work closely with the production heads at Anglia and Meridian.

Both he and Marcus have very strong creative flair and command enormous respect within the industry. Their partnership, combined with the highly successful programming centres at Anglia, Meridian and Bristol, will create a dynamic new production group.”
In his new role Willis will report to Andrea Wonfor, Executive Chair of Granada Media. Cresswell will report to Jules Burns, Granada Media’s Managing Director of Operations.
