Steve Warr, Managing Director, Raw Cut TV, commented: "Phil Ward's appointment comes at a time when we are looking to expand upon our existing factual repertoire of Blue light documentaries. Phil's experience will play a vital part in driving the company forward, helping us to give commissioners a more diverse offering of factual programming."
