Digital Orchard has hired Simon Brett as its new head of operations.
Brett has worked in broadcasting and post-production for over 20 years, including with NBCUniversal as a post-production and facility manager, Fox International Channels as director of operations, and as a facility manager for National Geographic. Earlier in his career he also had roles with Technicolor, IMG, and Channel 4.

Brett said: “I am so thrilled to join Digital Orchard at such an exciting time. Their plans for the future are very impressive and I look forward to being part of this new phase for the business. Seeing the volume and variety of work they handle and the wonderful countryside location, were all factors that drew me to this role and I am very excited to have joined the team”

We are lucky to have someone with the level of experience in post-production operations that Simon has, this will no doubt prove invaluable in this next, exciting stage of Digital Orchard’s growth.”
