About Me

Mark worked for Yeti Media as Series Producer on our C4 Daytime series Find It Fix It Flog It. having worked with Mark previously at BBC, I knew he had the skillset and the right attitude to be an excellent SP, and I was happily proved correct! FIFIFI is a simple series to watch, but a complex and logistically challenging series to make, so it was very important that we had a "grown up" in charge. Mark managed the complex production timetable, the previously tricky inter-relationship with both presenters and co-producers and the small editing team very well, with an enthusiasm and deftness that ensured we delivered the 25 x 60 series on time, on budget and with an ease that reflected all the hard work he put in. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mark to any other company seeking a creative and hugely competent SP with the capacity to manage large and complex series - though I am hoping that he will return to Yeti for another series next year!
