Read MoreI'm a Senior Development Producer with over 10 years experience in the industry. I’ve created and pitched everything from million-pound physical gameshows to noisy MTV reality. My wide-ranging viewing habits mean that I enjoy getting competitive over quiz shows as well as binging the latest reality my partner has me hooked on. I absorb content in all forms; whether I’m scrolling TikTok until midnight, watching the latest Try Guys video or spending far too much money on a VR headset.
I’ve pitched my ideas directly to commissioners for both traditional broadcasters as well as streamers, reinvigorating The Games, bringing 99 to Beat to the UK and helping to reimagine Big Brother. A particular career highlight was producing a session at the 2023 Edinburgh TV Fringe titled Not So Guilty Pleasures: Does TV Have A Snobbery Problem?
I’m looking to continue creating new ideas in my Senior Development role as well as immerse myself in the world of international formats.
Read LessJosh was an integral part of Initial's development team and played a major role in getting a number of huge series commissions over the line during his 8 years at the company.
Josh is truly one of best Senior Development Producer's I've ever worked with. A rare talent that can combine creativity, ambition, humour and originality with analytics and an extensive knowledge of global formats and successful mechanics.
His pitch materials are of an excellent standard after years of producing high-impact decks and sizzles to support the large-scale entertainment and reality ideas we make at Initial.
With plenty of experience pitching to networks, he has contacts at most major UK broadcasters and can be trusted to present at the highest level.
He is also a team player - highly regarded by his peers and line managers. Selected to be a mentor for Banijay's Brightbulbs scheme, Josh has been guiding the next generation of TV talent through internships and into their first job for the last few years with great success.
Anyone welcoming Josh into their team will be very lucky to have him.
