Entertainment has always been a key part of our business and the time is right for us to both expand our comedy and clip show output and make serious inroads into more ambitious entertainment projects. I have been a fan of Martin’s for some time and am confident that his appointment will bring a rapid expansion of our entertainment output."
Oxley added: "There is a natural wealth of entertainment and comic talent at Bullseye and the prospect of working with Steve and Managing Director Jorg Roth to push towards more studio-based and factual entertainment productions is a genuinely exciting one."
