Steven Bricknall

Development Executive

Steven runs our development team. He’s hugely experienced in all areas of factual television, and his natural gift for bringing to life the germ of an idea means he’s won commissions from all the major broadcasters. He watches more TV, listens to more podcasts and reads more articles than seems humanly possible… but then he does split his time between West Wales and London, so that’s a lot of long train journeys.

Debra Campbell

Financial Controller

Debra brings years of production accounting experience to Brown Bob. Her expertise is setting strong accounts controls and procedures, and ensuring every production has full accounting support. She loves working in the buzzing production environment and is the queen of accessorising. Her statement belts are legendary.

Annabel Locke

Production Co-ordinator

Annabel’s motto is Spreadsheets Are Life; so being a Production Co-Ordinator is the perfect first job in telly for her. She works across our high-volume series, with a can-do attitude and great nails.

Nathan Mann

Researcher

Nathan is full of ideas, and loves the process of turning his best thoughts into treatments that commissioners will love. His background as a graduate of the Central School of Speech and Drama make his pitches unmissable events. He’s also a train geek. And you know we love those.

Josh Swetnam

Producer

Josh is a Brown Bob all-rounder who’s an ideas man in development and an out-and-proud train geek in production. He works across our slate – it’s a long way from his first job videoing a village scarecrow competition. He’s a Sheffield Wednesday super-fan and brand ambassador for Henderson’s Relish.
