Chris has over 20 years experience working at the BBC, ITV, Mersey TV and Lime Pictures. His career has taken him through many different roles behind the camera; from runner to producer and almost every job in-between. He worked at the forefront of the birth of digital content and his role developed alongside this monumental change in the media landscape.

Chris has produced stand-alone dramas, documentaries, fact-entertainment, music and sports shows, working on many shows, such as Brookside, Hollyoaks, Match of the Day, Grange Hill and Culture Vultures. He has also worked across many multi-platform projects including Melvyn Burgess' The Well, The Hollyoaks Music Show and BBC Switch's Proper Messy.

With the emerging digital technologies, allowing new ways to tell stories, Chris has always placed great emphasis on creating content that provides every project with additional digital and social content to accompany the broadcast programme. He has created immersive content for online games, websites, augmented reality features and virtual reality scenes, always putting the viewer right at the heart of the scene.

Away from the office, Chris loves spending time with his wife and kids. He coaches his son's football team and tries to play guitar (although his daughter is much better on the piano). One day he hopes to see Everton win something again, maybe then his son will believe how good they used to be.

Hayley started her TV career back in 2000 working as a staff member for ITV Entertainment on Saturday night shiny floor shows, quiz shows, the development team and other entertainment formats (Manchester/London). Since then, she has worked as a staff member for CBBC, BBC News and Current Affairs and Lime Pictures, working in production management, production accountancy, operations management, and business management.

Hayley completed her MBA from Aston Business School with a distinction in 2021, having studied whilst working full time and delivering lockdown education – a true multi-tasker!

Out of the office, Hayley plays hockey for her local Welsh club and loves walking the Welsh hills with her husband, two children and their animal entourage.
