Sam Tewungwa, Chief Commercial Officer, UKTV, said: “Andrea’s expertise in the VoD and digital products space, coupled with her can do attitude and reputation in the media business, made her the ideal fit for this role. She has exactly the right attributes to spearhead UKTV’s VoD strategy and develop UKTV Play into a leading broadcaster VoD service.”

Amey starts in the role immediately, replacing Tom Davidson who had agreed to take on the role of general manager for UKTV Play on an interim basis while recruitment for a permanent candidate was underway. “I’m so excited to be joining UKTV and build on the great work the team has done so far. I’m looking forward to getting stuck in with a fantastic catalogue of programmes and help steer the reach and growth of UKTV Play.”

She’s previously held positions at Synacor, Age UK, Global radio and spent two years as chief editorial manager at Virgin Media.
