Helen Bullough, Head of Kids and Family Productions at BBC Studios, is set to leave the broadcaster after 11 years.
She previously held the role of Head of BBC Children’s In-House Productions until April, before the division transitioned into BBC Studios, the commercial arm at the broadcaster.
Bullough has held a number of high-ranking roles during her stint at the BBC including Head of CBBC Productions. She will continue in her current role until later on this year.
“She will be dearly missed, not just for her incredible expertise, empathy and deep understanding for our young audience, but for her warmth, care and exceptional leadership across her production teams,” said Cecilia Persson, who was appointed to lead the new division at the end of last year.
BBC Studios’ Kids & Family portfolio includes programmes such as Blue Peter, JoJo & Gran Gran, My Mum Tracy Beaker, Ferne and Rory, Something Special, Bluey and Hey Duggee.
