Our London and Regional teams have had a huge amount of success recently, with commissions across the full range of factual, but there is so much more we can achieve. Tanya's creative leadership and her passion for creating impactful, innovative content, makes her the ideal person to lead our creative teams".

Tanya Shaw added:

"Zinc's creative richness and premium quality is renowned worldwide. Their companies make outstanding programming which resonates around the world, and I'm looking forward to helping drive their growth plans, diversifying their customer base, and strengthening their already-world-class creative team.

It is clear that Zinc is a company that is now going places and I'm thrilled to be joining at such an exciting moment in their growth journey."

The Options have been granted under the Company's EMI Share Option Plan and will vest in accordance with the following:
