As an Executive Producer I have had the pleasure of working with John Shirley on both Live Events and Documentaries. On these projects John has proved himself to be an enthusiastic, hardworking, invaluable member of the team. He shows exceptional attention to detail, often discovering new information, ensuring the researchers' work is water tight and knows as much about the subject as humanly possible! John is full of ideas and a great problem solver, who is always calm under pressure. With excellent interpersonal skills he is not only popular with production, but also, wins over contributors’ confidence and trust, resulting in excellent relationships with high profile talent. On both large and small teams, he is completely dependable, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with John again.

I would jump at the chance of working with John again, and would be more than happy to recommend him to anyone; please get in touch, if you want to hear more.
