I love my job, a love a challenge and I love problem solving whether that be financial, operational or on large productions.

I thrive on growing and nurturing teams and creating a welcoming place to work with a culture of support and opportunity.  I am an unscripted Head of Production with credits across award winning programming in multiple genres; from archive to current affairs; long term access to fast turnarounds; foreign filming to studio, daytime and fact ent formats.  I have worked in small, medium and large companies often through times of change.

My most recent role was with Red Sky Productions, an award-winning unscripted producer based in Glasgow.  My role involved working alongside the MD to implement company strategy and deliver targets set by the board.  I was responsible for managing company operations and overseeing all production and development projects.

Prior to that I was Head of Production at Salamanda Media in Manchester.  Knowing I relish a challenge the two founding MD's approached me to help them set up their company during COVID! I contributed to company stragety and developed their systems and policies.  During my time at Salamanda I was integral to their successful applications to both Emerging Indie and Channel 4 Growth Funding, the latter involved in-depth negotiations at a senior level with stakeholders at C4.

I had previously spent 12 years at Blakeway North helping to steer them from a small start-up to one of Manchester's most decorated and respected production company - with a multi-millon pound turnover and winning huge numbers of domestic and international awards and accolades.  My tenure at Blakeway North saw many operational and structual changes, my role involved aligning company strategy to meet the needs to the larger group, overseeing growth opportunities, driving and implementing change.

I have worked for companies headquartered in Manchester, Glasgow and London working seamlessly and efficiently to support senior teams wherever they are based.

I play a leading role in several groups/committees focussed on supporting talent including TV Talent North and TV Talent Scotland.   In addition to this, as part of my work with ScreenSkills and Media Career Advice I mentor both new entrants and established production management teams. Read Less
