The Fairmile Team around IBC Amsterdam

Death of an Umbrella in AmsterdamWell IBC2013 has started, and the buzz has started, and the showers have as well. At least we don’t have the torrential rain of earlier in the week, but it is still umbrella weather here in Amsterdam.

Fairmile West has a team of people around IBC from Thursday to Tuesday, and we are available to meet to share our expertise and determine where (or if) we can help with the development and/or launch of your TV product/service.

  • Ian Nock, Founder and MD, ready to discuss the cutting edge technologies for modern and future video and consumer electronic devices, and how they can be delivered.
  • Nuno Amorim, Managing Associate, ready to discuss the benefits of continuous integration and the application of web methodologies to the development of video services, whether OTT or traditional video.
  • Mike Fox, Consultant, ready to discuss the best ways to manage the programme delivery of high technology products and services.
  • David Musters, Consultant, to share his knowledge of Cloud Video solutions.

Please do drop us a line by clicking here, making sure you include your mobile number so we can be in touch directly at IBC, or we can arrange to meet with you afterwards.
