How it started....
I started my TV career as a production secretary in Granada Television's Entertainment department and then made the leap to Tape Viewer on You've Been Framed. This then lead to
This Morning as a researcher with Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, Albert Dock, Liverpool.
My next move was back to Manchester as a Producer on Granada Breeze, the new satellite channel that launched the careers
of Richard Hammond, Claudia Winkleman and Derek Acorah, with a guest appearance from George Hamilton.
My big break came in 2000, when I was asked to direct an episode of ITV's Better Homes presented by Carol Vorderman. That was my first role as a Producer & Director, and that's what I've been doing ever since....
