Barney is a huge asset to any production team. Multitalented with a diverse skill set across development, executive production and production. Barney applies himself with dedication and hard work to deliver on any show and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again.
I recently worked with Barney on a brand funded YouTube Livestream broadcast. Barney added infinite value - without him the project would not have happened! He developed and wrote the scripts for the 10hour live show as well as casted, vetted, produced and managed all guests and celebrities for appearance within the show. His understanding of show production and casting was invaluable and his technical knowledge was high. The show itself was extremely technical with all work happening remotely. I cannot thank Barney enough for all of this help and support with this project and can not recommend him enough for future projects.
Barney and I worked together on Children In Need 2019. The show is a monster five hour live challenge working with massive talent, a huge variety of content and complex live challenges. Barney was superb throughout. He was creative, enthusiastic, unbelievably hard working, extremely diligent, inspired a very hard working team beneath him and managed anything and everything thrown at him with the minimum of fuss. He managed and included all the various parties that make up the creation of a huge charity show with ease and charm.And most of the time he was a step or two ahead of me! He was a superb hire (we had never worked together or indeed met previously) and I will definitely have him back next year if he hasn't been snapped up.
I have worked with Barney on live studio shows for Broadcast and in Development for Advertising Production. He is creative with plenty of ideas, a very strong script/ pitch writer, works well in a team and in leading his own. He is great with talent, organised and always understands the programme and creative as a whole. He is a pleasure to work with and I would definitely work with him again
Barney joined the Green Rock team to lead development of a bold new digital-first show for NatWest. Money Bite is a lifestyle focused magazine format show aiming to start a conversation about money. Barney brought a huge amount of editorial experience and expertise to the role, with a willingness to adapt to the requirement of a whole new format for digital platforms. Barney was a fantastic leader of the production team, providing great creative input and huge levels of motivation for the team during a very busy production period. Barney is always totally charming and engaging in his approach to talent, clients and production teams.
Barney has had a brilliant year producing on The One Show. He is full of ideas, resilient, energetic, an inspiring and caring team leader and great fun to work with.
Barney is an experienced producer and a pleasure to work with. He knows his way around most genres of television, including studio-based and location. Barney worked with me on a live, daily magazine format for Sky 1 which was tight on budget and high on creative challenges - all of which Barney dealt with efficiently, and with good humour. He has ideas and understands how to realise them on screen. He is a good team player and has the personal skills necessary to manage presenters, contributors and experts alike!
I worked with Barney on 'Live with Gabby ' for Channel 5 (2011/12)
He is extremely creative, brimming with ideas and is dedicated to making absolutely the best programme he can. Working on a daily live show, means having to work within boundaries, but Barney always pushed those boundaries, with great effect.
He is a very good team leader, both mentoring and encouraging his team in a positive manner.
He works very hard, and always delivers on time, plans his items very thoroughly for each show he produces.
He is a pleasure to work with, and I would definitely recommend him.
