The man who launched Seven West Media’s live events division, Dustin Lockett, is joining BBC Worldwide as commercial director after the media company created the new role in a reshuffle.

The move also marks the departure of director of business development, Robert Leach, whose role has been rolled into the new commercial brief.

Lockett set up Seven’s Red Live events division in 2014, working on a variety of Seven’s events, including Better Homes & Gardens Live, Ghost: The Musical and the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

The event’s specialist, who also worked at the now defunct Sydney theme park, Australia’s Wonderland, NIDA and IMG, will oversee both live events for BBC Worldwide in Australia as well as working on consumer products, home entertainment and brand licensing.
