Deluxe Entertainment Services Group has confirmed the appointment of Andrew Bell to Managing Director of its EMEA Distribution Business.
Bell, who for the past 15 months has led the company’s distribution operations and technology arm in EMEA, consolidated Deluxe’s theatrical, broadcast and OTT operations and established the company’s new state-of-the-art facility in West London, Deluxe House, to meet the distribution needs of clients from across the region.

Deluxe is perfectly positioned to deliver the high performance and services required to address these” said Justin Beaudin, Chief Operations Officer, Distribution. “Andrew will have full responsibility for the leadership and development of the EMEA business, and play a key role in ensuring the talent and technology that make up our business are addressing the ever pressing needs of the market, whether in localization, distribution or digital cinema.”
