Simon was one of the PDs on the second series of Renovation Nation for C4 He successfully met all the demands of this high volume production which included lone working at various locations across the UK On location, not only was Simon directing, producing and managing the sound - he also had to data wrangle at the end of each shoot . He did this with gusto and good humour whilst also maintaining strong , effective relationships with all of his contributors A truly valued member of my team

Curtis Leighton Jones

Simon was very adaptive to the many different changes in the production. He worked tirelessly behind the scenes on his films and picking up the slack where needed on others. And his thorough knowledge of plants and gardening were super helpful when it came to scripts and story ideas. He got great contributions from the presenters too

Stephen Leigh Series Producer Love Your Garden

Simon Brant is a man of many talents. He can shoot, he can direct - and, rare amongst male so-called PDs of my acquaintance, he can actually produce - and very well too.

He has charm, and is at ease with even the most awkward of on-screen talent. He has a very good editorial mind, and is an excellent EP. Again, he both edits well AND produces his programmes from the edit suite.

He is a pleasure to work with: supportive, a team player and hilariously witty. I look forward to having something interesting to offer him again int eh future. Do not hesitate to employ him.

Kerry Richardson, Series Producer

Simon is a true gentleman, brilliant with presenters and contributors and highly experienced. He produced 2 as live flowers shows and worked as PD on Gardeners' Word with me for two years running. This year he set up a UGC platform in a matter of days which required fast turnaround and attention to detail. He then went on to successfully run the UGC team of four. He's a great producer.

Sharon Fisher, Series Producer/Producer Director/Edit Producer

Simon is joy to work with. Calm, professional, talented and great with presenters and contributors. He's a great team member and brilliant on location. He knows how to deliver in a huge range of situations - including large and complex shoots - and is the sort of person that everyone is really pleased to have on the team.

Jon Swain

I had the pleasure to work with Simon for fourteen years, mostly as a multi camera director on Antiques Roadshow but also on coverage of Chelsea Flower Show where he produced single camera inserts. Simon is an unflappable force, well accustomed to the pressures of fast turnaround TV shows and has always delivered quality results. He has also confidently led large teams in the complex planning of events acting as the senior producer overseeing the logistical and technical arrangements. He is diplomatic and well accustomed to managing collaborative relations with important partners and agencies. He has great drive and flair whilst also being a highly popular member of the team.
