Pinewood Shepperton Studios director of television Rachel Joseph has quit the company after just nine months in order to take up a new management role at The Farm Group.

Joseph, who has also worked as sales and marketing director at 3sixtymedia in Manchester, will become new business director responsible for bringing in new work across both of The Farm's major sites in Soho and Shepherd's Bush. This is the first time that a new business director has been appointed at the post-production group.

Joseph, who starts her new job on 18 October, will report to the board of directors. Pinewood has yet to choose a replacement. Joseph moved to the studios in January.

Pinewood Shepperton is currently in talks with local authorities to increase stage space by half over the next 10 years. The proposed growth would increase the film and television stages by up to 1 million sq ft.
