About me

I have been a Production Manager since 2002 and have managed various different types of productions from live and non live sport productions to light entertainment. I am currently employed at IMG and manage productions for the European Tour. The main project is a weekly 24 minute highlight programme and the 5 other productions focus on a weekly magazine show and promos. My daily role is to maintain the budgets, negotiate rates with talent and crew plus create new budgets and manage multi camera shoots for additional ad hoc productions.

Additional information:
The type of budgets I have managed range from 1 day shoots to rolling annual productions. In all my roles I cost manage budgets, reconcile petty cash plus provide weekly production cost reports to the head of Production and accounts. I am very familiar with obtaining visas and carnets, creating complex risk assessments, applying for production insurance, plus drafting employment contracts.

I have worked with several OB companies, familiar with liaising with several equipment rental companies and have extensive knowledge of various data booking systems such as ScheduAll and SAP.

I am a friendly, level headed, resourceful, focused, supportive team member who enjoys logistical planning and familiar with highly pressurised environments. I am technically adept, can discuss issues with confidence enabling me to suggest equipment, solutions and constructive advice to Producers and the entire editorial team.

I have an amiable, professional approach to managing a production team and am capable of overseeing their development. I understand the importance of deadlines, can anticipate schedule changes, trouble shoot and deal with ad hoc issues calmly.
