Bio
David Jones MBA
Joanna provided production management during the production of Long Way Down whilst I worked as the paramedic accompanying Ewan and Charlie through Africa. Joanna's organisation support and ability to provide solutions with a calm and detailed manner enabled the success of such a long and isolated trip. Her team ethos, sense of humour and ability to deal with sometimes difficult people and circumstances are just a few of the qualities that results in her success as a production manager.

Jo's professionalism, sense of humour, organisational skills and ability to keep her eye on multiple balls ensured that Explore's sponsorship and operational involvement with Long Way Down and By Any Means ran smoothly and faultlessly from start to finish. She worked on so many areas of the production, from planning, through to filming on the road, to production and at the same time managed to keep sponsors and other partners happy and in many loops at the same time - a feat that would try the patience and skills of many people. Through all of it though, she managed to smile and remain upbeat and was a true pleasure to work with. I'd recommend her wholeheartedly, whatever your project happens to be.
