It’s my pleasure to provide this letter of testimonial for Caroline Allward as she seeks new challenges. As Caroline’s direct line manager on several productions, and most recently The Ultimate Brocation. Caroline is hard working and conscientious with excellent field and post skills. On a personal level, she has a relaxed and charismatic approach, both qualities that have served her well and enabled her to win people over.

Ruppert Gabriel

Caroline’s great. She’s brilliant with contributors, great at building relationships with them and gaining their trust. Intelligent and sensitive about difficult situations and stories. Shoots really well and comes back a great range of material - good at drawing out funny and cheeky moments as well as emotion and character. Very committed and driven - always gives 100%

Jon Swain, Head of Group Development, Optomen Television

Caroline is an exceptional obdoc Director, who can empathise with people and is very quickly trusted by contributors. As a result she is able to draw emotion and honesty from them that others can't. She is good in edit as she gets storytelling and is not precious about her material, if it is about making the film stronger. I will work with her again.

Vivian McGrath, Executive Producer, Redback Productions

Caroline was a real breath of fresh air for Time Team. Her programme achieved something that's not easy to pull off on such an established series: a real depth of character insight and observational skill. She brings a real passion for people and history along with her, and her immense enthusiasm for her subject-mattter paid real dividends in the quality and energy of the finished programme.
