The company, which specialises in lifestyle, sports and cultural content, has appointed Sam Thompson as head of sales and Nathalie Holden as head of distribution.

The new hires come after Bo Stehmeier exited the firm after just over seven months to join the distribution arm of Red Arrow in Germany.

The new hires will work alongside head of acquisitions Georgie Eyre who, like Stehmeier, arrived at Factory from Off the Fence.

Thompson leaves his role as MD of international at the London office of US distributor Big Media Holdings, which he set up to cover new markets such as the Middle East and Central and Eastern Europe.

Holden, meanwhile, most recently served as commercial director at interactive entertainment company Cube Interactive.

Prior to this she worked alongside Eyre on the acquisitions and sales team at Off the Fence, where Stehmeier spent eight years.

Eyre, Thompson and Holden will report to MD Darryl Newton and will work with Dee Smith, director of content, to acquire content, source investment money from pre-sales and sell finished product.
