Armston-Clarke headed up TVF International for four years, after joining the firm in 2012 as an international media trainee.

Lindsey Ayotte, who has been promoted to head of strategic development, will take over from Armston-Clarke to run TVF International. She will also take over sales with North American and UK clients.

Will Stapley has been upped from head of acquisitions to head of acquisitions and partnerships, with a focus on building exclusive content partnerships in the production, broadcast and distribution sectors, as well as bringing new coproduction opportunities to TVF Productions.

He will lead a team of five acquisitions executives based out of the company’s London office.

In addition to the promotions, TVF International has hired Colette Webber and Daniyal Bar in junior sales roles.

Ayotte said: “The TVF International team are fiercely proud of our independent status and unparalleled track record in the factual genre, and I’m thrilled to be leading such a talented group of execs. As we wrap up another record-breaking year, I look forward to continuing our growth trajectory by focusing on co-financing opportunities and our robust digital strategy, always with an eye to supporting other fellow indies.”
