CEO MONTHLY / CEO 100 9 , Where ideas come to life Located across two sites in Elstree and at Television Centre in White City, BBC Studioworks’ facilities are home to some of the nation’s most watched and loved television shows. Broadcasting across the BBC, ITV, Sky, Channel 4, and Netflix, to name a few, its credits include ‘Good Morning Britain’, ‘This Morning’, ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, ‘EastEnders’, ‘The Graham Norton Show’, ‘A League of Their Own’, ‘Crazy Delicious’, ‘The Last Leg’, and ‘The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan’. When Andrew Moultrie joined BBC Studioworks as CEO in November 2019, a fiveyear growth strategy was developed with a clear vision and purpose at its heart. The business already had a great culture, which its people have collectively evolved to focus on what makes it so special and unique. The company now has a clear set of values woven throughout the organisation which it calls ‘The Studioworks BBC Studioworks is a commercial subsidiary of the BBCwhich provides world-class studios and post production services to all the major TV production companies. It equips themwith the right technology and the most dedicated and talented people in the industry to help bring their creative ideas to life onscreen. CEO, AndrewMoultrie has been recognised within this issue’s CEO 100 Awards, so we got in touchwith him to learnmore about his role and the company. Way’ – a strong community, we are experts, we find a way and committed to growth. BBC Studioworks’ people are truly the best in the business with decades upon decades of broadcasting experience. There’s no problem too big which they can’t solve, and this shouldn’t be taken lightly. They are responsible for delivering technically ambitious shows like ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ live to the nation every Saturday night for 13 weeks, which is a huge amount of pressure on their shoulders. Andrew said, “I trust our teams implicitly to always deliver to the very highest of standards and it’s our exceptional client service which means we have a professional reputation that’s second to none. Whether it’s our operational teams, or our teams who work in the business support function, there’s a common thread amongst them, and that’s a real grit to succeed, a passion for their respective crafts that’s unrivalled and a belief that there’s always a way.” Regarding his own career, Andrew says that his previous roles have shaped him into the person he is today. He has had the joy of working with some of the biggest brands and institutions across the world such as Nike, Pepsi, and Warner Bros., and each role, each culture, each experience (the good and the bad) have added to his leadership tapestry and helped him to fulfil his obligations now as CEO. He said, “I don’t tend to dwell on the past and with that said, I’m more ‘me’ than I’ve ever been in my career. Having given myself permission to be vulnerable, as well as accountable and ambitious, means I can give my full self to the role and be the same person at work as I am at home. This saves energy, increases flow, and helps drive productivity and creativity.” He continued, telling us about his leadership style: “Honesty, kindness, and happiness are the fundamental principles of leadership for me. If you approach each interaction in life with these beliefs at your core, you will fly unencumbered, unhinged and free. “In addition to these leadership principles, I also have the support and trust of a brilliant Chairman, Tom Fussell and a strong and committed team at BBC Studioworks. You cannot underestimate the value of this. And if you add to this the endless support and unconditional love from Caroline (my wife), Eva (my daughter) and Jack (my son), I have an ideal environment at home and at the office where I can do my best work, as Andrew – a husband, a father, a friend, and a CEO.” Contact: Andrew Moultrie Email: andrew.moultrie@ bbcstudioworks.com Website: www.bbcstudioworks.com SEP21930
