What People Say About Them
Jackie Waldock, Executive Producer: "Sophie's professionalism, creativity and abilities shone out on this very tough series. We were a small team working with vulnerable contributors, huge amounts of archive and the legal challenges of making a series whilst a National inquiry was still 'live'. Sophie handled the challenges of all these aspects with aplomb. She was particularly impressive in gaining and maintaining the trust of vulnerable contributors as well as journalists and members of the legal profession and secret services. She is tenacious, editorial savvy and a pleasure to work with; I would highly recommend her."
Barnaby Coughlin, Executive Producer: "Sophie gets the job done. I think the Series Producer job is a hard one; pushing the editorial and keeping it all on budget and she did both of those things on our series. I love her tenaciousness and feel relaxed knowing she is on the project."
Producer/SP: "I've worked with Sophie on numerous roles over the last 10+ years - first as her researcher, then as peers both producing together, then as a producer on her first Series Producer role, and most recently hiring her as my senior producer on a series I was SPing. We've also worked alongside each other in development roles at Expectation. In every role we've crossed paths in, I have found Sophie to be diligent, hard working, laser focused on story, fastidiously detailed, creative minded and an absolute "can-do". She has coaxed access from iron-clad institutions and sensitive contributors; she is reliable, dedicated, cares deeply about the projects and the people and team she works with and knows how to deftly switch between roles and responsibilities. She empowers those working to her to take ownership of their roles, while also providing a solid sounding board and the wisdom to manage tricky compliance. I want to be on every team she leads, and would love her on every team I build too."
The Human Behind The CV
Sophie's heritage isn't immediately obvious from her name or passport - she's of mixed Arab-British heritage, which connects her to stories of displacement. With a Social Anthropology degree from Manchester, she brings academic rigour to understanding human behaviour.

Sophie's that rare producer who combines forensic attention to compliance with genuine storytelling flair. She's the person you want handling your most sensitive access - whether that's police custody suites or terrorism survivors - because she understands both the editorial and legal complexities. Her journalistic instincts are sharp, and she's particularly skilled at finding the human story within complex institutional narratives.
