About Me
Anya is a hugely talented programme maker with exceptional people skills . She is incredibly hard working , creative , resourceful and tenacious . She is a wonderful , generous team player and an excellent manager . Kind and empathetic by nature she is outstanding with sensitive contributors . She is also a real joy to work with .
Anya was the Executive Producer on the second series of ITV's Save Money Good Health Series. From Day 1 she hit the floor running, as a late commission meant we had to turn around an 8 part series plus two "specials" in an incredibly tight time frame. Starting from scratch, she used her extensive contact book to pull together an excellent team and set the editorial tone from the outset.
Anya has great editorial sensibilities and absolutely understood what content worked for the audience. She has a nose for a story and was able to put a new spin on perennial health issues. She has an ability to keep across the detail and made sure all VTS were journalistic robust from script to cutting room.
More importantly, Anya is great fun to work with! An excellent people person she maintained excellent relationships with commissioners and on-screen talent despite long filming days an arduous production schedule. She totally understands telly, is a thoroughly safe pair of hands and I hope to work with her again.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Anya. I have worked with her several times over the past few years. In brief, she is a first-class producer; creative and conscientious and very experienced, she understands all the finer nuances of compliance. She is hard-working, good with talent and loved by her teams.
Anya is an excellent booking. She excels at live television but also puts her heart and soul in to recorded films. Her instincts for difficult compliance issues are spot on. She's experienced in managing small and large teams. Highly recommended.
Anya did a fantastic job of Exec Producing the Stand Up To Cancer fundraising films for Maverick.
These very challenging films, about cancer patients at the most difficult stage of their cancer journeys, were extremely difficult to cast, produce and edit. Anya's empathy and emotional intelligence enabled her to secure extraordinary access to exceptional families - and then produce heartbreaking, powerful films that were hugely effective in raising money during the SU2C campaign on Channel 4.
She is a highly skilled Executive Producer, and a pleasure to work with.
