About

Aimee started her working life in theatre for 10 years in New York City before returning to the UK to pursue a career in high-end TV (HETV) and film. Since then, she has gained eight years’ experience working in production from a production runner up to a production manager. Aimee has now been in the role for four years (Sherwood, Archie, Truelove, The History of a Pleasure Seeker, Censor). The different genres, periods, budgets and roles she has had on these productions have given her a deep understanding of how to manage a budget and her team, as well as supporting other crew departments and creating an organised shoot period. Her most recent credit is as production manager on The Crow Girl (Buccaneer Media for Paramount+).

Aimee is currently a HETV Leader of Tomorrow. Participants in the three-year inclusion programme for mid-level professionals are nominated by senior colleagues in HETV. Her nominator Wim De Greef said: "I am delighted that Aimee has been accepted onto Leaders of Tomorrow. It is well deserved! She is a hard-working, ambitious individual and I know she will go places. She is a joy to work with and I hope our paths will cross again in the future."
