Beyond Distribution’s London based Head of Acquisitions Yvonne Body announced her retirement in November last year, promising to stay and help Michael Murphy find her replacement. Not an easy task, since Body has been at the company for twelve years, in a position which relies on a huge array of contacts, deep knowledge of buyers and a keen sense of key suppliers. Along with a gut instinct for great television.

As Danika Porter, the Sydney based Head of International Marketing for Beyond Distribution,  reminded me,  the acquisitions team is ‘essential to the continued growth of distribution.  It brings in the top quality content which enables the whlole team to succeed.’
