Michael has widespread experience selling DCD Rights’ type of content in most territories around the world and will be covering sales to Benelux, Latin America, Japan and the Far East as well as Eastern Europe.

Rick Barker has been with DCD Rights since 2006, and his extensive programming expertise in selling drama, factual and entertainment content over the last 12 years, makes the promotion to Head of Sales a natural progression and a tribute to his standing in the industry. Whilst taking on overall responsibility for the sales team, Rick will also take over sales to Australia and New Zealand, and retain the key European and Nordic territories.

Completing the team Angela Harvey, who started her career in TV distribution at DCD Rights in 2008 will take on responsibility for digital sales as well as non theatric and airlines.
