Rebecca Davies

West Yorkshire

Summary

During my career in television I have worked on over forty high end television drama series' working my way up from production coordinator through the ranks to producer and co-executive producer.


I am a highly experienced and adaptable professional with a creative mindset and keen eye for storytelling with strong project management and communication skills.


As a diligent hands-on producer I enjoy leading and motivating crew to deliver in a fast-paced production environment and I have consistently nurtured new talent to build highly-skilled, capable teams of professionals.


Known for delivering on budget and on time high quality programmes that consistently engage audiences I am keen to progress further to work across multiple shows.
