PGGB Announces Winners of Biennial Awards in Association with Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden

Sat 14th Sep 2024

Wonka, Supacell, Producer David Heyman, Georgette Turner, Valeria Bullo and new talent Marc Ronnie receive accolades at 2024 Awards.

The Production Guild of Great Britain celebrated the talent, contribution and achievements of its esteemed members working in UK film and HETV drama tonight (Saturday 14th September), at a glittering awards ceremony hosted by comedian, presenter and actor Patrick Kielty at The Grove Hotel in Hertfordshire.   

Lyndsay Duthie, CEO of PGGB paid tribute to the winners saying, “Our PGGB members are best in class.  This wealth of below-the-line talent is the bedrock of our film and television industry and it’s their hard work and skill that creates the first class reputation the UK has garnered.  Our 2024 awards are also an opportunity to acknowledge the incredible contribution producer David Heyman has made and we celebrate him with our Contribution to the Industry accolade.”

Bianca Gavin, PGGB Chair added: “Our PGGB Awards are a celebration of the tremendous and inspiring achievements of our membership and those who are the backbone of the UK film and television industry. As Chair, I am proud to highlight these contributions: our industry is built on collaboration, and we all benefit from the exceptional work of these individuals.”

Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden are headline sponsors of the awards and commenting, Emily Stillman, Senior Vice President WBSL said: “We are delighted to continue our support of The Production Guild of Great Britain and its biennial Awards.  As we continue to see the UK remaining the first choice for so many filmmakers, it’s important to recognise and celebrate the achievements of the talented individuals in production, post-production and accounts for their contributions in bringing some of the best film and TV shows to life on our screens.”

Accepting the Contribution to the Industry award, David Heyman 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.

This has been a really challenging period for the film and television industries in the UK—we’ve had COVID, we’ve had the strikes and the economy in general has been struggling, to put it mildly. But I feel we’re turning the corner.   In the next year, I think more productions will start up, more productions will come to the UK, because it’s the best place in the world to make films and TV shows. That said, we have to continue to nurture the next generation of people coming into the industry. We need education, schools and training programmes and we need those already working in the industry to support, train, mentor and ultimately employ young people. It is also vital that our sets are more diverse and reflect the society we live in. If we can do that, the future will truly be bright.”
