BBC Staff Changes Revealed

BBC Fiction has announced two changes to the structure of BBC Films management team.
Jane Wright, currently Commercial Affairs and General Manager for BBC Films, is moving fully into an editorial role as General Manager and Executive Producer.
She will continue to chair the BBC Films Editorial Board and oversee the marketing activity within BBC Films, but will now develop and drive her own slate of projects.
All four Board members - Jane Wright, Christine Langan (Commissioning Editor, BBC Films), Jamie Laurenson (Executive Producer, BBC Films), Joe Oppenheimer (Executive Producer, BBC Films) continue to report to the Controller of Fiction, Jane Tranter.
As a result of this change, Isabel Begg has been appointed Senior Commercial and Business Affairs Executive across BBC Fiction and will now take on responsibility for all business affairs and commercial dealings for BBC Films. She reports to Claire Evans, Head of Operations and Business Affairs for Fiction.
Jane Tranter, Controller BBC Fiction, said: "I am delighted that Jane is becoming a full time member of the BBC Films editorial team.
"Her impressive experience of British film and her creative flair will be a great asset to the department. Meanwhile Isabel can provide an invaluable over-arching focus for the commercial aspects of the division."
Claire Evans, Head of Operations and Business Affairs commented: "Isabel has been a huge asset to BBC Fiction in its first eighteen months of operation and is well respected across the industry so I am delighted she is taking on this broader role."
