Michelle Kirschner-Grant, Exec Producer: "Donald is the epitome of a safe pair of hands as a producer and I can always rely on him without question. He brings professionalism, commitment and care to every episode he crafts. He is hugely technically capable, incredibly well-organised and is always looking for solutions and ways to improve the workflow. He is calm under pressure and can be utterly relied upon to do an excellent job. I first worked with him on S2 of Next Level Chef - we are now going into S6 - and have asked him back every series. He is a highly-valued and very well-liked member of the team."

Co-Exec Producer: "Donald is always a great communicator and is always ready with the relevant question to fully understand the assignment before going ahead and solving problems methodically. He handles notes well and works well under pressure and to a deadline."

Lauren Abery, Edit Producer: "I have worked with Donald on many shows. We have also worked together on producing an episode. Donald is just so patient and thorough. He cares about everything he works on to produce the best. He has a wealth of experience behind him from his days in South Africa, having run his own company. He is so organised esp when pulling together complex shows with many stories."
