Ian Rumsey, ITNP’s Director of TV Production, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Caroline and Gorana to the ITN Productions team. They’re going to help us establish a real regional presence enabling us to make programmes which truly reflect the nation, and their appointments are an indication of how serious we are about securing business and making programmes outside London.”
Short commented: “It’s a really exciting time to be joining ITN Productions, and I can’t wait to head up the team in Leeds, and work with some of the most talented people in the industry.”
