Incredibly hard-working, creative, clever, and delivers great programmes, without loads of support, getting on with the job herself, solving problems and finding solutions. At the same, hugely collaborative and enjoys feedback. Biggest problem with Gillian is that she is always busy when you want her.

Elliot Reed

I've worked with Gillian as a series producer and as a highly accomplished producer and film director. She is very creative and knows how television works. Gillian has well-honed visual flair and is always ready to try innovative approaches. She has a wealth of experience across a wide range of television production from magazine programmes to blue-chip documentaries. Gillian runs teams well and has a sure touch with editorial compliance issues. She is meticulous in her planning and that helps her deliver high production values without exceeding budget limits. I have no hesitation in recommending her.

Dave Stanford, Executive Producer BBC

I worked with Gillian for 15 months in the BBC’s Religion & Ethics department in Salford. She was an established factual director but new to the self-shot ob doc, beginning with a project about chaplains in a children’s hospital. It required a big location commitment, plenty of emotional strength, particularly demanding people skills, decent camerawork and craft in the edit. She succeeded in all aspects, contributing to a powerful and moving series. She’s also delightful company and an impressively determined operator. Well worth employing.
