I’m truly thrilled to join this bold and ambitious company at what is such an exciting period of major growth.
Since forming in 2008, High Street TV has been known for a number of UK retailing ‘firsts’, not to mention creating a whole new retail category, and there is a huge opportunity to drive global brand recognition over the next few years.
