Zinc Media Group plc (AIM: ZIN), the leading TV and multimedia content producer, is pleased to announce the appointment of Andrew Garard as non-executive director of the Company. In conjuction with this appointment David Galan, non-executive director and former CEO of Zinc Media, has stepped down from the Board with immediate effect.

Andrew was most recently Group Legal Director and Company Secretary for ITV plc, having spent over a decade with the company, where he was also a board member of ITV plc and chairman of ITN. While at ITV, Andrew was responsible for an international team overseeing global legal and business affairs, including rights management, insurance, health and safety, corporate responsibility and business continuity. He helped lead ITV's rapid expansion in the UK production market and ITV Studios' expansion into the USA, where he oversaw legal and business matters as part of ITV's acquisition strategy. During his time he also had management responsibility for ITV's Interactive Business. Prior to ITV, Andrew held a number of general counsel roles, including at Cable and Wireless plc and Reuters Asia, and positions at legal firms, including with Clifford Chance, Freshfields and partner in the corporate department at LeBoeuf, Lamb, Greene & MacRae. With effect from 16 September 2019 Andrew will also join Meggitt PLC, a leading international company specialising in high performance components and sub-systems for the aerospace, defence and selected energy markets, as group general counsel and director of corporate affairs.

Christopher Satterthwaite, Chairman of Zinc Media, commented:

"Andrew has a wealth of TV and content creation experience in the UK independent market including a wealth of experience in TV M&A in this country and the USA. His knowledge of the market and its future direction will be invaluable to the board. We are grateful to all David Galan has contributed to the board in his various roles in the Company."

David Galan joined Zinc Media in January 2016, initially as CFO before moving to COO and then CEO in February 2018, and led a period of change and restructure of the business. The Board thanks David for his contribution to the Group and wishes him all the best for the future.
