BBC narrows roster to five?

The BBC was unavailable for comment as Design Week went to press on industry reports that its roster shortlist has been narrowed down from ten to five consultancies and that contracts are in the process of being signed.

The BBC previously told DW that it hopes the roster will enable it to cut costs and tighten control (DW, 13 September 2001). The decision follows Lambie-Nairn’s rebranding of the organisation last month.
