Kaye Elliott, Production Guild UK CEO said: “Everything we have been working towards in the past year has been about sharpening our focus on championing, connecting and celebrating our members within the wider industry, and these Awards give us the perfect moment to bring that focus to life.
We celebrate the people who make the stories that move us, that make us laugh, and that remind us, again and again, why we fell in love with this industry in the first place. In a world that moves faster every year, our members are the ones who still make people stop, sit down, and feel something, and our Awards are a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge the incredible contribution they all make to our industry.”
Bianca Gavin, Production Guild Chair and Head of Production, Scripted, VICE Studios, said: “These awards celebrate the expertise and talent that goes into the UK’s consistently superb HETV and film productions. As we celebrate these achievements, we can also honour the spirit of camaraderie and collaboration behind them.”
Emily Stillman, Senior Vice President, Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, said: “Congratulations to this year’s nominees and winners. The creativity, skill and dedication demonstrated across production, post-production and accounts continue to showcase the strength of the UK screen industry. Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden is proud to support Production Guild UK and help celebrate the talented professionals whose work contributes to the UK’s reputation as a world-leading destination for production.”
