Granada International has appointed Augustus Dulgaro as its new vp of sales for Australia and New Zealand.

Dulgaro, currently manager of product and content sales at the ABC, will be responsible for developing the production company's activities in the region. He will also work closely with Granada Australia, ITV's Australia production arm.

"Australia and New Zealand are a significant and vital market for us," said Tim Mutimer, director of sales at Granada International. "The opportunity for us to combine his extensive experience and knowledge of the local industry with our diverse range of programming will I’m sure prove invaluable to our development in this area.”

Dulgaro takes up the new position from July.
