“I’ve worked with Liam through some tough development cycles, and I can honestly say that his observations, help, support and recommendations had the most positive impact at both a team and an executive level.”

“Ali is one of those rare producers who combines a huge amount of experience with a genuinely people-first approach. She understands how creative teams work, how to bring structure and clarity to complicated projects, and - just as importantly - how to build trust with the people and team making them.”

“If you have a challenge, big or small, at the top or bottom of your company, Liam will hunt it down and come armed with practical solutions.”
The people behind GPA

Liam works on the systems around production: how decisions get made, how risk is handled, whether plans hold up and what leaders need to see.

Ali works on the people side: mentoring producers, developing leaders and building the practical skills that teams rely on every day.
Good production is rarely one heroic producer holding everything in their head. It is a team that notices a dependency early, says out loud what it is unsure about and makes the decision before the work sets around the wrong assumption.
