Casting House

About Us

Most recently I've been the Casting Producer of ITV's This Time Next Year, produced by Twofour Broadcast for ITV. I am also the founder and MD of Casting House, the UK's largest factual casting company. Casting House was set up to develop new techniques to cast television shows and online content using online advertising and social media. Casting House is the first company to use Google Adwords for people finding and television casting. We also invest in Facebook advertising and social media promotion. These techniques are now revolutionising the way contributors for factual television and advertising are found.

“I was really impressed by how quickly Casting House delivered excellent contributors. The fact that contributors came to the programme by clicking on targeted (internet) ads means that they all have very strong motivation and genuinely want to be in the show, which makes all the difference.
We were working with a very tight deadline, and Casting House managed to consistently deliver a high number and, more importantly, high quality of contributors in a short period of time. It saved us money and it has made it possible for us to go from a green light at the channel to shooting the series very quickly.”

Casting House has found over 400 contributors for shows on the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, TLC and the History Channel. It has worked with renowned production companies in the UK and the US, including Twofour, Studio Lambert, Optomen, Two Four and Leftfield Pictures.

The company has worked with Development teams to bring their ideas to reality and has helped to secure 7 new commissions.

My career started in the demanding world of daytime talk shows, before moving into Development and then becoming a Producer / Director. I directed and produced the first episode of Don’t Tell the Bride, the BBC and international hit show, and was involved in defining the show’s structure.
