From time at ITV, Craig was instrumental in our launching of new pay services on TalkTalk through to more recently, while Craig was at A+E [hearst]. Craig is an incredibly well connected, highly regarded operator in the TV distribution, commercial and regulatory space. His knowledge of the TV landscape is exceptional, and would be an asset to any business."

  • "I worked with Craig at Vodafone over a number of years, in different roles. Firstly, when he was responsible for negotiating with UK PSBs and Pay TV channels for Vodafone UK. The project was extremely technically and commercially complex which Craig grasped, digested and was able to convey very quickly and clearly with the partners. Craig builds trust and extremely successful, robust relationships both internally and externally with ease. He is willing to challenge rationale, but providing solutions, alternatives and innovative ideas. He delivers excellent results. Testament to this was his repeated offers of work at Vodafone over a wide period. I would be keen to have Craig on board and part of any team I'm involved with, be it TV, Mobile, BB platform or content acquisitions/distribution."

  • "Craig and I worked together at UKTV. Putting aside the clear knowledge brought to carriage agreements and commercial strategy, what always impressed me most was his ability to forge strong internal partnerships; carriage negotiations, when well-executed, are a multi-team effort and Craig's expertise in harnessing the skills of multiple stakeholders across the business, at the right moments, would always deliver the best possible outcome. Someone who will add real value to any team he's a part of."

  • " Craig worked with me on a demanding, time-critical project in 2016, which required a focused, results-driven approach to acquire content rights from a selection of partners. He owned the end-to-end negotiation process with a couple of key partners, working independently and effectively to secure the right terms within a tight deadline."
