I worked (as a Production Exec) with Jess for a year on adventure series 'Primal Survivor' which is one of the hardest shows to PM - lots of complex elements in remote locations all over the world. Natural history, high risk set ups, large fixer team to manage, budgetary challenges....

Jess handled everything with utter dedication and precision - all with a huge smile. I still don't know how she does it, but she's amazing. Her logistical problem-solving is second to none, she really looks after her team, and she has the best laugh.

I have had the pleasure of working with Jess on a number of occasions and she is always a committed and highly valued member of the team. Her attention to detail, people skills, and ability to handle high-pressure situations with confidence ensures production runs smoothly from start to finish. Jess is always ahead of the game, anticipating potential issues and resolving them before they even become a concern. She’s a solid PM and would be an asset to any production.

Jamie Stratton

I was Jess's line manager on one of our productions for ITV. It was a new commission which needed 10 hours of original TV to be produced and delivered in 12 weeks. As the PM on the project, Jess was fundamental in getting the series delivered on time. She managed a large production and filming team, guiding them around the country as we filmed in multiple locations. She did this with wit and charm and looked after everyone, all whilst keeping a smile on her face.

Jess has many strengths, her main ones are: a thorough understanding of the production process so she can prioritise decision making to keep the production moving forward in the most efficient manner possible; a desire to create excellent telly, whatever the budget; she is able to form relationships quickly - this could be with junior members of the team to develop their skills, or suppliers to get the best deals possible; her communication is great; and she is a tremendously hard worker.

I would not hesitate to hire Jess again, she is an asset to any team she is part of.

Richard Walker

Jess is the best PM I've ever worked with. She ran production for our complex six-part specialist factual adventure shoot in East Africa with extraordinary skill and expertise. Personable, energetic, incredibly conscientious, super hard working and across every detail. She is the engine room at the heart of the production - in total control of budget, scheduling, crewing, H&S and adept at running teams of co-ords. I can only describe her as indispensable and the complete package. If she's available and you can get her - you're in very good shape!

Sam Taplin

I've had the pleasure of working with Jess twice now on complex international productions, and each time has been an incredibly rewarding experience. As a production coordinator, I’ve seen firsthand the exceptional leadership, clarity, and calm she brings to even the most fast-paced and logistically challenging environments.

Jess has a unique ability to manage multiple moving parts with ease—balancing tight schedules, cross-border logistics, and the demands of a large crew, all while making everyone feel supported and informed. Her communication is clear and thoughtful, her problem-solving is second to none, and she always brings a sense of calm, no matter how hectic things get.

Working with Jess feels like being part of a well-run team where your contributions are valued and you’re constantly learning. I’m so grateful for everything I’ve gained under her guidance and genuinely look forward to working with her again!
