Who We Are

WoodpeckerTV keeps a small core team of Producers and Consultants. We collaborate with our network of top UK freelance talent, all of whom we’ve worked with directly before. Keeping our core team small reduces our overheads - a saving that we pass to our clients - and means we can pick the perfect person, with the right experience for each project.
