His role is focused on growing the business by delivering new revenue streams and working closely with producers. He will also be responsible for both the sales and communications teams at BBC Studioworks.

Noakes’ CV includes roles as commercial director and then managing director of Go Ape, and 11 years in senior strategy and business development roles for BBC Worldwide.

He is the perfect leader to shape our newly created commercial division, drive our commerciality, and advance our business in response to the growing industry demand for studio space.”

I look forward to expanding Studioworks’ footprint and working in closer collaboration with our existing and future partners to understand how we can help meet their long-term and short-term needs.”

A huge amount of work goes into making sure that there is equal representation across an extensive conference programme.

  • I think this year 2024 is probably the most innovative, cutting-edge, head-of-the-curve MPTS that I’ve exhibited at so far. I think even compared to last year, attendees really know what they’re looking for when it comes to cloud, AI, virtual production, all of the buzz words, all of the emerging technologies, everyone’s really embraced it.
