I am an experienced and versatile Editor of factual programmes for broadcast television. I confidently edit across all genres; from documentaries to magazine shows to factual entertainment. Formerly at ITV in the Midlands, I have been in this role for twenty two years and a freelancer for fourteen. I am based near Birmingham, but also work in other locations - including London, Manchester, Leeds and Plymouth.
My recent broadcast credits are:
Inside : Center Parcs • Factual Entertainment • Crackit Productions • C5 • 50' x1
A one-off look at the firm behind the Center Parcs Holiday Villages. Using archive footage and contemporary interviews to look at what it took to make a Dutch entrepreneur’s idea such a huge success in the UK.
Shut Ins : Britain’s Fattest People • Factual Entertainment • Blink Films • C4 • 45’ x1
Across the UK, thousands of super morbidly obese people are too big to leave their home. Each programme looks at an individual who is shut away from the world and asks, can they turn their lives around?
Call That Hard Work • Factual Entertainment • Electric Ray • BBC1 • 45’ x3
A fast-paced, competitive series that takes a fun and informative look at the world of work. Three people who are passionate of what they do for a living, spend a day doing one another’s work and the person who everyone agrees has the hardest job will win a cash bonus.
Equally at home as part of a team or working independently, I regularly structure from rushes and contribute ideas to scripts. I can keep to the schedules, whilst still delivering the high standards expected. I’ll maintain an attention to detail, even on ‘fast turnaround’ programmes. I particularly enjoy editing with music to create sequences with drama.
Among my career highlights are:
Fred & Rose West : The Real Story with Trevor McDonald • Factual • Blink Films • ITV1 • 50' x1
Collaborative edit of a powerful documentary, presented by Sir Trevor McDonald, featuring exclusive interviews and insights into one of most disturbing murder cases in British criminal history – Fred and Rose West and the Gloucester House of Horrors.
