Tim Collins has joined the CHF Media Group’s board as a non-executive director.

Tim Collins is the head of The Brand Director, a consultancy specializing in IP development and exploitation for a range of sectors including children’s media. He has also held senior roles at firms including Universal, DreamWorks, HIT, Endemol and DC Thomson.

“I met [Adrian Wilkins, chief executive officer, CHF Media Group] at a prior CMC event and was very impressed with his approach and felt that there is a real opportunity to combine the fundraising skills with a strong development brief to become a much larger player in the kids’ TV market-place,” says Collins.

The CHF Media Group has recently been restructured to streamline the business and will focus on developing and funding new kids’ projects moving forward. Collins has previously been advising companies in the CHF Media Fund on options for IP development.
