Welcome
With over 28 years of experience in film and television, Addie has built a career dedicated to both production excellence and industry-wide training. Starting as a trainee continuity announcer and runner at ITV Yorkshire, she worked her way up through roles as 3rd AD, 1st AD, Production Manager, and Head of Production. Her impressive tenure includes working on all four of the UK’s major serial dramas, serving as Head of Production at Hollyoaks and Production Manager at Coronation Street. She has also contributed to a wide range of productions, including Heartbeat, A Touch of Frost, Countdown, My Parents Are Aliens, Emmerdale, Barking, and Jinx.
Beyond production, Addie is passionate about fostering positive, inclusive, and high-performing workplaces across the screen industries. She is an established industry mentor for Women in Film & Television, a former member of Channel 4’s Mentoring Diversity Network, and was one of two lead trainers on the pan-industry Project Diamond Diversity monitoring scheme.
Ten years ago, Addie set up her own company, delivering bespoke training nationally and internationally for freelancers and leading broadcasters, production companies, and industry organisations, including Netflix, BBC, ITV, ScreenSkills, Warner Bros. Discovery, The Film and TV Charity, PACT, The Production Guild, TRC, BECTU, Northern Ireland Screen and Screen Yorkshire. She is the lead designer and trainer for Leadership Essentials, ScreenSkills’ flagship leadership programme, which has equipped hundreds of Heads of Departments across High-End TV, children’s, unscripted, animation, and VFX with essential leadership skills.
Her expertise extends to workplace culture and best practices, providing training and consultancy on bullying and harassment, equality, and diversity for professionals at all levels, from trainees to senior executives. She has also designed and delivered internationally recognised training, such as Managing Your Team for Netflix productions in South Africa and Production Management essentials for NFTS and co-created the globally used Script to Screen e-learning modules.
In addition to her training work, Addie continues to shape industry standards as a production consultant, most recently advising the BBC and the RTS Mini MBA. She remains deeply committed to mentoring emerging talent through Women in Film & Television, ScreenSkills, and NFTS, supporting the next generation of industry leaders. She is a co-opted board member of The Production Guild of Great Britain and a Member Director of Women in Film and Television.
At the heart of everything Addie does is a simple but vital goal: to empower individuals and teams with the skills, confidence, and support they need to lead effectively, collaborate successfully, and create an industry where talent can thrive.
