A showrunner led company, Samphire Films is focused on making ambitious factual television for the global market - from premium documentaries to major unscripted entertainment formats. We’re currently producing multiple projects for US streamers and UK broadcasters, while also developing bold, ambitious, scalable formats for global audiences. 

Prior to founding Samphire Films, I was a commissioner at the BBC where I was responsible for some of the broadcaster’s most successful and innovative returning brands, limited-series, and single films. Credits include the BBC’s biggest brands such as the BAFTA-winning Ambulance and Murder Trial, the critically acclaimed Lucan and Hunting Mr Nice, as well as genre bending doc series like the award winning High: Surviving a Dubai Drugs Bust.

Before the BBC, I worked for nearly a decade at one of the UK’s most successful unscripted production companies, Blast Films. As creative director I oversaw the company’s highest profile programming, including the BAFTA-winning Liverpool Narcos (Sky Documentaries), High: Confessions of an Ibiza Drug Mule (BBC and Netflix), Missing: Dead or Alive (Netflix), Grierson award winning, 999: What’s Your Emergency? and Skint Britain (C4), RTS award winning Forensics: The Real CSI, Reported Missing, Generation Gifted, and Saving Lives at Sea (BBC).  I’ve also worked across award winning factual formats including The Choir and Bad Lad’s Army. 

I’m passionate about creative innovation and excellence, love the art of storytelling, and remain as excited as I was when I first started out in TV by its power, as a truly broad medium, to connect people from right around the world with stories that matter and content that engages and entertains.
