Suite has strengthened its production team with new hires and an internal promotion.
Sean Gatenby, previously of The Farm and Picture Shop, joins Suite in the newly created role of Head of Production, reporting into MD Chris Evans.
Sean Gatenby said: “It’s great to be here, especially at such an exciting time, and to help build a team for the future. I’m working with some familiar faces who I know bring with them many years of wide-ranging experience, but I’m also delighted to be working with Alex and the rest of the team here who already achieved so much over the years. Together we now have an incredible breadth of knowledge, alongside an impeccable focus on clients, which will help continue and expand on Suite’s existing success”.
Joining him in the new Production Office space and reporting into him directly, will be three new producers with former colleagues Yasmin Amey, Kaya Harrington and Ben Kidd joining.
Yasmin Amey – Senior Post Producer, said: “I’m incredibly excited to have joined Suite as Senior Post Producer. I’ve always admired Suite’s work. With my background in light and factual entertainment, joining a team known for its brilliant entertainment post just felt like the perfect fit for me. There’s such a strong sense of collaboration and creativity here – you can really feel that everyone cares about what they do. Another big factor for me was that Suite is an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) company. That really means something. It creates a culture where everyone has a voice, you’re not just working for a company — you’re part of it, helping to shape its future. It’s empowering to know that your work directly contributes to something you’re part-owner of.
Kaya Harrington – Senior Post Producer, said: “I am beyond thrilled to be working with the brilliantly talented team at Suite. Their reputation for delivering iconic work, whilst keeping client experience at the heart of their ethos is something I’ve always admired and it’s very exciting to be a part of this next chapter. Looking forward to a bright future here!
Ben Kidd, Post Producer, said: “I’m honoured to have joined Suite. In the short time I’ve been here I can already see it’s an inspiring environment filled with creativity and collaboration, and I feel privileged to be part of the journey ahead”.
In addition to these new appointments, Suite has promoted Alex Raven to Senior Post Producer. He said: “Having joined Suite in 2010 I am thrilled to have been appointed to Senior Post Producer and work alongside new starters Sean, Yasmin, Kaya and Ben in leading the Post Production team. The wealth of experience they bring with them will help Suite continue to grow and keep delivering excellent service and high-end content”.
Suite MD Chris Evans stated “These bold recruitments demonstrate the ongoing investment in our people – the bedrock of the business. Each of them is committed to fostering a dynamic and innovative production environment. Together, the team is poised to deliver even greater efficiency, and client service in the months and years ahead.”
