WILKINS LEAVES ITV

FOLLOWING THE restructuring of ITV, Jeanette Wilkins, Finance Director at ITV Digital, is to leave the company.
Wilkins joined ITV Digital in May 1998 from Granada UK Broadcasting.
Stuart Prebble, Chief Executive, said: "Jeanette has contributed significantly to the development of the business over the past three years and will be missed. We wish her well."
Wilkins said: "It is always a difficult time to leave a company, particularly one which you have been involved with since its birth, but the time is now right, as ONdigital is integrated into ITV, for me to move on in my career and onto new challenges."
Wilkins will be replaced by Mark Beadle, 34, who joins ITV Digital from Esporta, where he is Group Finance Director. He was previously European Finance Director for Planet Hollywood prior to which he worked for Price Waterhouse on a range of media and entertainment clients.
