From idea to broadcast, on budget and on air
Television producer with thirteen years making factual, entertainment and documentary programmes for UK broadcasters and streamers. Takes shows from development and commissioning through production to delivery — owning budgets, schedules, crews and the editorial that makes a programme land.

Manages multi-hundred-thousand-pound budgets, hires and leads crews, and keeps productions on time, on budget and to broadcast compliance. Strong on story, logistics and the people skills a busy set demands. Calm when a shoot goes sideways. Looking for a producer role with a production company or broadcaster making ambitious content.
