Tell us about your LWE journey

I joined The Really Useful Group in 2016 as the receptionist and I was soon promoted to Office Manager within my first year. I led a full office relocation in 2018 and coordinated new health and safety regulations during the 2020 pandemic. In 2022, I was seconded to a new digital archive project, which initially focused on digitising old video tapes and establishing an extensive asset library. I was then promoted to Content & Brand Asset Manager in early 2024 where I now oversee production and marketing assets within the Brand & Franchise Development department.

What excites you the most about your role at LWE?

Part of my role involves online research and reviewing our own records to investigate queries about past productions; it excites me when I discover interesting facts about the history of Andrew's work or uncover lost/forgotten material that hasn't been seen for many years. These little gems become gold dust for our social channels and website, particularly The Box Five Club.

What advice would you give to someone starting out in the entertainment industry?

Starting out in the entertainment industry requires persistence, networking and adaptability. Build relationships, be open to different opportunities and learn to understand both the creative and business side of the industry. Stay resilient in rejection, prioritise your mental health, and don't be afraid to seek advice from experienced professionals. Stay true to your passion and learn to grow with the industry's ever-changing nature.
