'Holby City' producer joins ITV Studios
ITV Studios has today further expanded its drama production unit by hiring Holby City series producer Myar Craig-Brown.
Reporting to ITV Studios creative director for drama Kate Bartlett, Craig-Brown will act as an executive producer developing a raft of new scripted programming for sale in the UK and overseas.
Craig-Brown joins ITV this month from the BBC, where she has been a member of the production team behind the BAFTA-winning drama Holby City for more than ten years, most recently as series producer.
"As we continue our strategy to grow our drama slate, it is vital that we secure the best talent in the industry," said Bartlett.
"Myar has an impressive amount of experience and skill across primetime drama content with wide audience appeal and I know she will be an invaluable addition to our great team."
Craig-Brown added: "I am delighted to be joining ITV Studios at such an important time - the long-term ambitions for drama production provide a fantastic opportunity and I look forward to working with the drama team to develop and create outstanding content."
The appointment of Craig-Brown follows the announcement that Francis Hopkinson, executive producer of DCI Banks and Wallander, is to join ITV Studios to set up a new drama unit to work alongside Bartlett's team.
Last month, ITV Studios also appointed Andrew Nicholson and Sally Evans to newly-created roles at its ITV Studios Factual (North) & Shiver division.
