Jo is a fantastic producer. She was a pleasure to work with and no job or challenge was tot big nor too small. Working with Jo at TCO was brilliant for my experience as she took the time to really help provide clarity on areas of production where I had limited knowledge. Jo will always go above and beyond to get a job done - on time and in budget. She is resourceful and experienced and a great person to boot. What more could you wish for?
