Digital migration specialist Farncombe Technology has appointed Nadine Peck, until recently Project Leader at the BBC for the UK Digital Switchover Help Scheme, as Senior Consultant. Nadine oversaw the process according to which energy efficiency company eaga plc was recently contracted by the BBC to deliver the £500 million Help Scheme – which offers support to the elderly or disabled to help them switch to digital television.
Nadine joined the BBC in 2002 as Operations Manager for BBC Strategy & Distribution, before becoming a Senior Project Manager with BBC Operations managing its Digital Switchover Project. While in that role she managed a number of complex digital switchover projects, represented the Corporation on key switchover-related working groups, and worked alongside officials at the UK government’s Department of Media, Culture and Sport to develop Help Scheme policy.
Prior to joining the BBC, Nadine was Head of Coverage Services at ITV Digital, which she joined soon after it launched the world’s first commercial DTT service (as ONdigital) in 1998.
"Nadine has an unrivalled track-record managing the complex processes associated with digital switchover," said Farncombe’s founder, Andrew Glasspool. "She will play a key role in helping us to accelerate the rapid expansion of our digital migration business in Europe and beyond."
Nadine’s appointment follows that of digital watermarking specialist Lionel Tranchard, who joined Farncombe as Principal Consultant from Thomson STS at the beginning of the year.
