Sky UK Raises TV Prices and Promotes Andrew Griffith to COO

Happy Easter. Customers of Sky’s (Sky Broadband) TV packages will be unhappy to learn that the price they pay will be going up by between +£1 and £2 extra per month from 1st June 2016, with the Sky Complete bundle rising by an extra +£4.25.

The new prices are already being reflected on Sky’s website and it’s particularly interesting to note that the various Sky Q upgrades and packages, which were only very recently launched, will now cost +£2 per month extra. So far the rises do not affect broadband and phone services, but those often follow later in the year.

Elsewhere Sky’s Group Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and MD of Commercial Businesses, Andrew Griffith, will expand his responsibilities to become Group Chief Operating Officer (COO) in addition to his existing roles. Griffith has been Sky’s CFO and an Executive Director of Sky plc since April 2008 and has held a number of senior finance roles within Sky prior to this appointment.
