Sunset+Vine names Peter Angell as CEO

Angell joins the sports production company on November 1 having worked as an independent sports media consultant since 2020, following an eight-year tenure as Senior Vice President of Global Media Production at Lagardére Sports (now Sportfive).

Before that, Angell spent 12 years as the Director of Production for Host Broadcast Services (HBS), which was the host broadcaster for the FIFA World Cups in 2002, 2006, and 2010.

Prior to joining HBS in 2000, Angell served as the Head of TV Production at TEAM Marketing for five years, where he oversaw the broadcast delivery of the UEFA Champions League.

Sunset+Vine’s client portfolio includes Amazon Prime, TNT Sports, the BBC, Channel 4, and Channel 5, along with sports federations like the International Cricket Council, World Rugby, the Commonwealth Games Federation, FIFA, UEFA, the FEI, UK Athletics, and World Sailing.

Sunset+Vine chairman Jeff Foulser said: “Peter is a much respected and extremely experienced industry leader with a quality and extensive CV. His appointment gives us even more firepower to grow as an international business, particularly in the area of host broadcasting, which has been a core element of our work in recent times. Peter’s experience of major events and fantastic contacts will help build on the success we’ve had. I’ve known Peter for many years and am really excited to be working with him, (managing director) David Tippett, and the rest of our talented team as we look to the next few years of growth.”

Angell added: “I’m delighted to be joining Sunset+Vine at such an exciting time for our business and for the media industry as a whole. Having worked together with and alongside the company on many occasions over the last two decades, I know first-hand that their world-class industry reputation is well deserved, and I look forward to leading and supporting this amazing team onwards to bigger and better things in this next chapter of our story.”
