I’ve spent four happy, fascinated decades making screen content and building a company around a simple idea: tell stories people want to watch, whatever the genre or platform. It’s always a privilege to make programmes for audiences around the world and to be working with great people.

Our approach has helped build a business that has won awards, been appreciated by millions of viewers, launched careers, employed thousands and created programming seen globally - all from an English regional base.

I’m still hands-on. Still producing and, occasionally, presenting. Still building formats that return, with scale and which will last.

I’m a Dad of four. A proud Scouser. And I love being an Everton supporter. Who wouldn’t?

Ever curious. Ever enthusiastic. That's us, that's me.
