About me: Personable, hard-working and highly organised Production Manager with 10 years’ experience in the television industry and a wealth of production knowledge, working on OBs (including live), events, singular and multi-episode factual documentaries, observational documentary, magazine and news, across a diverse range of genres including Factual, Factual Entertainment, Art, Music, Religion and Digital/Interactive.
