The Television and Radio Industries Club (TRIC) appointed Dan Todaro as new Chair at its annual Christmas party. Todaro heads up Gekko Group, a marketing agency for the consumer electronics industry and related sectors.
Todaro replaces Jane Ostler, MD of creative market research outfit Kantar. Ostler continues as Vice Chair. The current TRIC president is John Barrowman, who took over from Lorraine Kelly in 2020.
The annual industry bash returned as a live event afte two years, and was held for the first time at 8 Northumberland Avenue. The event is delightfully glamorous, and widely recognised as a highlight in the broadcast industry event calendar, but who are TRIC?
Celebrating 90 years as part of the broadcast scene, TRIC originally launched as the Radio Industries Club.
A not for profit organisation, TRIC promotes the ‘mutual understanding and goodwill among those in broadcast technology and related industries, across TV, Radio & online platforms.’ It also raises money for good causes through social events and the annual TRIC Awards.
This year’s festive shindig raised money for two charities, the Alzheimer’s Society and Save the Children, through both a raffle and a silent auction. There were also charity presentations to AKT and Combat Stress: the Veteran’s Mental Health Charity.
TRIC corporate partners span the great and the good of the broadcast and consumer electronics industries…
