Granada appoints new head of formats

Granada International has poached Jennifer Harrington, sales director at Twentieth Century Fox, to be its new head of formats.

In the role, Harrington will be responsible for the sale of Granada International formats, as well as the acquisition of formats from external sources.

"She has a great depth of experience and is extremely respected within the industry," said Tim Mutimer, director of sales, of the appointment.

In her time at Fox, Harrington licensed local versions of formats such as Temptation Island, Joe Millionaire and, more recently, Unan1mous.
