New to the AVForums team

I have great pleasure in announcing a couple of items of news with regard to the AVForums Team.
First we have Phil Hinton (whom many of you will know from video, podcast and review fame), who joins us full time as Editorial Content Manager. Phil will now be producing more videos, more podcasts and more reviews as well as looking after other people as they join the team.
And a rather belated welcome also to Sally Meaden who joined Lee Jensen's advertising team a few weeks ago.

Yeah, the vids are great. Congrats Phil.

Does this full time post bring with it a clothes budget? or are we going to see that same yellow polo shirt again. Only joking!
