UK - Metro has appointed Danny Whybrow as managing director of its Broadcast Facilities Division, reporting to Peter Wright, Group CEO. Danny will join Metro from Blue Post Production where he was also managing director. In addition, Metro announced the investment of £200,000 of new technology and the appointment of two new bookings staff as part of a major expansion of the Soho-based facility.

Whybrow will be responsible for the broadcast facilities division that works on many projects from shoot to post, including Channel 4's fully HD show Totally Frank and the recent Isle of Wight Music Festival. Joining his current team of 56, will be Karen Hake from Dubbs and Alex Finch from TSI in bookings. The new equipment installed at Metro as part of this expansion will include major HD upgrades for the company's Avid systems, a Sony HD cam SR and Sony lenses.

"I brought Danny in to grow the business with me. He brings all the right experience to help our existing business improve and to grow it significantly," says Peter Wright. "Our plan is to double the company's size over the next three years and having known Danny for over six years I have been impressed with his track record of achievement."
