All3Media has appointed John Whittle as Managing Director of Lime Liverpool. He takes over from outgoing MDs Kate Little and Claire Poyser.
Whittle, who was previously Lime Pictures Finance Director, will work closely with the company’s creative leaders, including Hannah Cheers, Hollyoaks Executive Producer, and the Co-Heads of the Kids and Family teams, Angelo Abela and Tim Compton, whose animated series Wolf King is coming soon to Netflix.
All3Media CEO Jane Turton said: “I really look forward to working with John and the entire team in Liverpool to continue building on the success of Hollyoaks and the Kids and Family drama business and to develop new shows on the back of the current slate.”
John Whittle said: “I am delighted to lead Lime Liverpool into its next exciting chapter. With Hollyoaks continuing to innovate as the UK’s youngest digital-first national soap to the release of Wolf King (with animation by Jellyfish Pictures) next year for Netflix, I am looking forward to working alongside our first class creatives to continue to build on the company’s many successes. Liverpool is in the DNA of Lime, and I feel very fortunate working in this incredibly creative city.”
John became Finance Director at Lime in 2016. Previously he worked at NBC Universal in senior finance roles across its Theatrical and Home Entertainment divisions, with stints in Sydney, Stockholm and London.
