Lowe says: “I am thrilled to be joining Great Point Media at this exciting time in the global media sector. Institutional investors are looking to tap into the potential for further growth in the sector and are already committing funds. Great Point is well placed to capitalise on its leading reputation and track record in the industry and I expect the fund to grow exponentially once launched.”
