I am an experienced TV Production Manager and I manage teams, budgets & schedules of all sizes across a variety of genres but principally documentary (including observational documentary) & specialist factual, for linear channels and streamers.
I've just finished working on a six-part drama doc series for National Geographic / Disney+, and prior to this, managed seven seasons of Five's highly successful observational documentary series ’22 Kids and Counting’ for Lion TV.
I have also worked across specialist factual, documentaries and children’s TV, including 3 series of ‘Officially Amazing’ for CBBC, ‘Dispatches: Confessions of a Nurse’ for Channel 4, ‘Offended by Irvine Welsh’ for Sky Arts, ‘The Arab Street’ for Al Jazeera English and 'Great British Menu' for BBC2.
I have a strong track record of facilitating;
* Overseeing long-running series as well as quick turnaround one-offs
* Multi-camera shoots in the UK and abroad, on location and in studio, for amongst others, the BBC, Channel 4, Five, National Geographic / Disney+, Al Jazeera English and Sky, and for Social Media channels.
* Budgeting and scheduling of productions (proficient in PMI and Excel), cost monitoring, forecasting and cost reporting, and ensuring productions deliver on time and on schedule.
* Dealing with hire of, and rate negotiations with, freelancers, crew, suppliers and high profile talent.
* Ensuring full legal, regulatory and Health & Safety compliance, including welfare (within company and across programmes and series) and overseeing all talent, crew & contributor contracts.
