About Georgina

Affable, reliable and organised, I’ve spent over fifteen years researching and producing programmes for the BBC, and another five working in strategic communications and editing. I’m strong on building and maintaining networks and relationships, drilling down to the heart of the matter and saying it in a pithy, eloquent way, interviewing, writing and identifying and telling stories, and sourcing the right people to tell them to. Also good on drafting key messages and project management. Used to delivering, come what may.
