Read MoreDynamic and entrepreneurial programme-maker with experience across a broad range of genres.I have a proven track record of: Getting the best out of high-profile talent and managing big teams and multiple edits, developing programme ideas and returnable formats and winning commissions,A skilled storyteller, I bring sensitivity, emotion and humour to any show I’m working on – be it a documentary, format or a ‘shiny-floor’ studio show.On the business side, I can effectively manage a budget, negotiate contracts, deal with compliance issues and expertly manage a show's brand.‘Yvonne is one of the best television executives I’ve encountered in my career. She’s extremely professional, well-organised, and diligent. She also has the ability to calm any crisis, charm celebrity bees down from their ego-fuelled trees and get us over the line when it really matters. We’ve worked together for many years now on Life Stories and I couldn’t do it without her. In fact, when I heard she might not one series, I actually said I WOULDN’T do it without her! Yvonne’s a rock star with infectious enthusiasm, a great sense of humour and, as can be proven by the length of time we have worked together, infinite patience. I can’t recommend her highly enough.’ PIERS MORGANYvonne is a fantastic programme- maker who, through her immense experience, skill, creativity and passion, produced some of our best ever Pride of Britain shows and ensured the inaugural NHS Heroes Awards in 2018 were a resounding success on ITV.A trustworthy and reliable person, with great integrity, and intelligence, she’s in a class of her own at sensitive and emotive storytelling, with depth. That’s achieved partly by her remarkable ability to understand, empathise and earn the trust of the people at the heart of her films, not least those who are initially nervous about putting challenging personal moments of their life on screen.Yet while Yvonne’s a consummate professional, who I’ve seen working 24/7 to deliver brilliant films to deadline, she’s also bags of fun and a joy to work with. PETER WILLIS, FOUNDER OF THE PRIDE OF BRITAIN AWARDS AND EDITOR, THE SUNDAY MIRRORI have never worked with a more professional producer in the television arena. Yvonne’s word is her bond and she delivered exactly what she said she would deliver. Maybe most importantly she is one of the nicest people I have worked with in the business MICHAEL FLATLEY* I will consider part-time roles.
