makes her the perfect fit for Studio Ramsay. Her experience in winning and overseeing new series across a range of broadcasters will be invaluable. I look forward to welcoming her to the

team in what is already shaping up to be an exciting year for the company.” Edwards added, “Studio Ramsay is one of the most dynamic production companies in the industry. It’s in incredibly

rude health and I’m unbelievably excited about the opportunity to work closely with Gordon and the teams, across the UK and US, to continue to build on this success. I have thoroughly

enjoyed my time working at Lion Television but I could not resist the opportunity to take up this next creative adventure with Studio Ramsay – a place where I can utilise my passion for

working with talent to create some brilliant new formats and must watch factual entertainment.”
