TESTIMONIALS


“Gary is a true original. He is one of the few Entertainment Execs I’ve worked with who can genuinely create something out of nothing and deliver it like no one else. He is fantastically collaborative, brilliantly professional and very, very funny. His experience in the unscripted space is unparalleled and he has the hits and the awards to prove it. We all need more Gary Monaghan’s in the world”: Karl Warner, EVP UK Entertainment & Digital Development, BBC Studios
​“Gary is an extremely innovative Executive Producer. From show running big productions to creating and producing his own ideas he is someone with a justifiably great reputation, who I wouldn’t hesitate to commission from or work with”: Kate Phillips, BBC Director of Unscripted
“Gary is an incredibly creative, innovative producer who's committed, disciplined and, most importantly of all, a really strong leader. He's always solution orientated and comfortable working on both projects of scale and those with smaller budgets, whether it's in fact ent, reality or big entertainment”: Julian Bellamy, MD ITV Studios
