Bradford-based bmedi@, the network for the creative, new media and digital industries in Yorkshire, has announced two new appointments to its board.

Roslyn Beattie has been named chairman replacing Nick Burton, a director of Keighley-based Open Skies, who is standing down.

Meanwhile Ian Green, who lives in Menston, is a former journalist and serial entrepreneur having successfully launched businesses in publishing, online, media and property.

He said: "With the huge growth of digital companies in Yorkshire and the increasing influence of social networking, now is a very exciting time to be involved with bmedi@ as it continues to make a contribution to this fast growing section of the Yorkshire economy."
