"We are delighted to have secured the services of Rick Bolin as our new CEO", said Graham Pitman, chairman of the broadcasting equipment manufacturers' association. "This appointment, coming at this point in our development, will enable us to build on the extensive changes we have made in the last two years and to meet the strategic challenges we face over the immediate years ahead".
