Acclaimed UK producer David Heyman of Heyday Films, whose glittering credits include the Harry Potter franchise and more recently Wonka, Barbie and the Paddington movies has built a global reputation for excellence and that track record prompted the PGGB jury to name him recipient of the PGGB Contribution to Industry award for 2024.
Accepting the Award, David said: “I am grateful and honoured to be receiving the Contribution to the Industry award. To receive it from the PGGB is all the more meaningful, because it does such incredible work for building community, for our industry generally and for freelancers who are the life blood of our business.
I really believe that here in the UK, we have the best of the best. We have incredible actors, directors, writers, people in production, locations, visual effects, finance and we have the world’s best crews in general. Each department is integral to making any film successful and I would not be receiving this award without the help and support of all the remarkable and inspiring people behind the camera who I have had the good fortune to work with."
Rob Garvie, Director of Universal Production Services who sponsor the award said: “We are so proud to sponsor this year’s Contribution to the Industry Award and celebrate all the honorees and members.”
