New Head of Sales and Business Development at WRN Broadcast
WRN Broadcast is pleased to announce that it has appointed the latest addition to our ever-expanding team. Jonathan Low joins us from Globecast, where he was Business Development Manager in London and New York.
At WRN Broadcast, Jonathan will head up the Sales and Business Development Team and will play a key role in expanding the company's customer base. Jonathan has arrived during a period of considerable growth for WRN Broadcast, following the opening of our state-of-the-art media centre and the recent launch of our Vauxhall-based media village aimed at like-minded broadcast clients.
Jonathan commented: "WRN Broadcast has a sterling reputation in the industry and I'm thrilled to be joining the company at such an exciting time. I'm especially looking forward to working with potential tenants for the new media village from across the broadcast industry, now that we can offer them both office space and an end-to-end solution."
