He was invited to join the Guardian Media Group in 1990 by Jim Markwick, then managing director. By the mid-1990s he was head of product development at The Guardian where he launched "The Guide", a listings supplement, Wired UK and introduced online content to a UK national newspaper for the first time. From The Guardian he rejoined Branson to work on the launch of virgin.net, originally a portal for the Virgin group of companies, now part of Virgin Media. He joined the BBC after quitting the UK listings and information service in 2002. At the BBC he led the team which devised and developed the BBC iPlayer, which necessitated no fewer than 84 internal BBC presentations. In October 2008 he was appointed as the Controller of BBC Archive Development in which he championed the public service use of the BBC's archive through products such as BBC Genome and The research and education space (RES) built in partnership with JISC and the British Universities Film & Video Council, working with former Guardian colleague Bill Thompson.
