Simon was one of the PDs on the second series of Renovation Nation for C4 He successfully met all the demands of this high volume production which included lone working at various locations across the UK On location, not only was Simon directing, producing and managing the sound - he also had to data wrangle at the end of each shoot . He did this with gusto and good humour whilst also maintaining strong , effective relationships with all of his contributors A truly valued member of my team
Simon Brant is a man of many talents. He can shoot, he can direct - and, rare amongst male so-called PDs of my acquaintance, he can actually produce - and very well too.
He has charm, and is at ease with even the most awkward of on-screen talent. He has a very good editorial mind, and is an excellent EP. Again, he both edits well AND produces his programmes from the edit suite.
He is a pleasure to work with: supportive, a team player and hilariously witty. I look forward to having something interesting to offer him again int eh future. Do not hesitate to employ him.
Simon is a true gentleman, brilliant with presenters and contributors and highly experienced. He produced 2 as live flowers shows and worked as PD on Gardeners' Word with me for two years running. This year he set up a UGC platform in a matter of days which required fast turnaround and attention to detail. He then went on to successfully run the UGC team of four. He's a great producer.
I worked with Simon on Gardeners' World back in 2019. Simon worked really hard on the Malvern and Gardeners' World flower show events, and was a pleasure to work with. I was always impressed with how much he valued the Production Management team, and worked closely with us. He's got a great sense of humour, and brilliant work ethic!
Simon is joy to work with. Calm, professional, talented and great with presenters and contributors. He's a great team member and brilliant on location. He knows how to deliver in a huge range of situations - including large and complex shoots - and is the sort of person that everyone is really pleased to have on the team.
