I have worked in the documentary sector since leaving university -- in-house at broadcasters (BBC and ITV), as a partner in an independent production company, and as a free-lance. With over 20 years in the business I have gained wide experience working with a broad range of producers and broadcasters in Europe and beyond.

Based in England, I make documentaries not only for our national channels, but for many of the major broadcasters on the Continent, North America and, increasingly, in Asia. Since 2003 I have worked as a freelance producer and executive producer. I currently alternate between being a producer-director on original films and as a script doctor/editing director fixing other people's programmes. My true love, however, is as a development producer. Nothing excites me more than developing a project and getting it commissioned.

I am an occasional lecturer or tutor on documentary production courses and workshops both for the EDN and for other organizations. In my spare time I am writing three books: Perfect Pitching, The Deepest Hole: Co-production Pitfalls, and, Re-versioning Nightmares.
