Bio
Roger Watling
Sally and I worked together at Blackbird Productions and its post-production arm, The Plaza Suite, from 1991 to 2002. I was senior editor with technical responsibility for all post production. Sally is hugely creative, technically well-informed, a talented producer/director and team leader. We worked together on series such as Gordon Ramsay's Passion for Flavour, Joan Collins Secrets, documentaries Private Elvis and the Bee Gees Keppel Road for The South Bank Show. We also made TV commercials, lots of films for corporate clients and many Government Departments. I also think that Sally is an extremely competent business strategist, steering Blackbird and The Plaza through the choppy waters of the television industry with great skill.

Sally's management skills are matched by her excellent ability to come up with sophisticated and creative solutions that meet client requirements exactly. Sally excels both in her specialist field of television production as well as possessing a wide ranging skill set which is an asset in the role of consultant or at boardroom level.
