Baldock, UK – EBS, the full-service provider of EPG data for platforms and channels worldwide, has further expanded its team with the appointments of Andree Lüke as Managing Editor and Neville Stratton as New Business Manager. This announcement follows the recent launch of EBS’ Pawa software solution and portfolio of Pawa EPG data services. Pawa provides a multi-platform, multi-territory, scalable offering that enables EPG data to be aggregated, restructured and delivered to any platform.

Andree Lüke

Lüke, who has worked in the TV listings industry for more than nine years, joins EBS from Global Listings where he most recently held the role of Production Manager. His new role at EBS will see a strong focus on quality control and quality assurance measures, ensuring that the high standards already set are only bettered as the business continues to grow.

He will work closely with EBS’ existing team of two senior editors and seven sub-editors, to oversee production of schedules and EPGs. With a keen eye for detail and great experience, he will also produce and manage his own portfolio of channels.

“I’m delighted to join EBS and look forward to further pushing the company forwards. EBS has a strong editorial team and I’m enjoying working with them, making a positive contribution towards the company’s goals,” Lüke said.

Stratton has held roles in both the television and publishing sectors, including 12 years at ITV, where he held the position of Sales Operations Group Head. At EBS he will be responsible for managing the new business sales process from initial prospecting and qualification of clients, through to handling of new accounts.
