The pair will take the role on a job share basic and will lead product development on the platforms as well as manage the day-to-day running of TV services.

Prior to joining Digital UK as Chief Operating Officer in 2020, Sarah Milton spent 15 years at Channel 4 in a range of VOD-related roles, most recently as Head of Product for streaming service All 4.

They make a formidable team, bringing an extensive range of skills, experience, and industry knowledge to the organisation. Together they will play a crucial part in ensuring Digital UK successfully meets the needs of consumers, broadcasters, and device partners, by delivering a portfolio of products and services that support, enhance and grow free TV in the UK.”

The pair will start the role in July.
