london-based production manager/line producer/HOP

25 years experience working in many genres but my heart lies in documentary, ideally those which affect people deeply and make them think. In the perfect words of my recent employer: 'Films that make a Difference'.

I have worked on productions filmed in 40+ territories worldwide, including hostile environments, often involving sensitive content. My experience includes delivery of films and series to all the major UK and US Broadcasters, contract negotiation, dealing with Talent/Agents, clearances, technical delivery and, of course, keeping on budget. I am praised for calm and collected operation throughout and the reassurance that my experience brings.

Member of Production Managers Association and formerly sat on the PMA Executive Committee.
