What People Say About Them
Series Director: "Jon is unique. He's brilliant to work for, having skills in every department in production. He's supportive to all his team, and above all else, he makes brilliantly engaging programmes. I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again."
Kelly Webb-Lamb, CEO: "Jon is a total star, totally committed, takes full responsibility, and delivers. He’s great with talent, brilliant in the edit, and is loved by his teams. He’s also extremely good fun."

The Human Behind The CV
Jon is happiest when creating ambitious shows in challenging places — whether navigating the deserts of Jordan, exploring the streets of Vietnam, or braving the American outback. He thrives on the challenges of production and the stories that come to life when the world feels a little bigger than usual.
Away from the “white-knuckle ride” of filming, Jon is a CrossFit enthusiast, podcast devotee, and news junkie — always chasing new knowledge. He also bakes his own sourdough (which, yes, he brings to work) and promptly undoes all that gym effort by eating like he could give Henry VIII a run for his money.

Jon’s the kind of person who genuinely loves making television (not just the finished product, but the process itself): The chaos, the collaboration, the laughter at 2 a.m. when everything finally clicks. Nearly twenty years in, that spark hasn’t dimmed.
He’s led productions everywhere from the Gogglebox sofa to the wilds of SAS: Who Dares Wins, bringing the same mix of good humour and clear-headed leadership to every team. He’s creative, unflappable, and completely invested in getting the best out of his teams. People trust him because he listens, backs good ideas, and leads with warmth and clarity. He’s brilliant with talent, strong in the edit, and has a reputation for bringing out the best in everyone around him.
