"Helen is a very experienced PC & PM who has worked across short form and long form programmes within the BBC. She is highly organised and diligent and isn't easily fazed by schedules or editorial decisions that require attention. She has arranged overseas shoots that include arranging carnets for camera crew to the basic logistics of hotel and flight bookings. She keeps across the budgets ensuring that regular meetings are held in order that Producers know what they have to work with. Equally she understands the needs of a production to make the best content and will help where possible but won't allow the production to be jeopardised. She is a strong team player who is also self sufficient to get on with the task in hand and contributed significantly and positively when l worked with and l would have no hesitation in working with her again."
