Who we are
A grain of Boldness in everything we do
We're a London-based independent production company delivering fresh, innovative and (of course) BOLD unscripted global formats, with the best talent on and off screen. BOLDPRINT was launched in 2024 by CEO and Founder Phil Harris, alongside Creative Director Lou Hutchinson and Head of Production Emma Lehrer. Fremantle distribute our formats and finished programmes internationally.
Whether you're here for a short time or a long time, it's important to us that you have a great time at Boldprint — feeling valued, supported and part of the team.

IT support (TRIO): help@trio.tech
Email policy
It's important to switch off. We try not to send emails between 7pm and 8am — unless you're on a shoot, in which case please text if it's urgent.
Key contacts
How we work
What to expect & what we expect from you
We set high standards because we care about the work and the people doing it. If something isn't clear or isn't working, talk to your Line Manager or the Head of Production.
We keep email purposeful. Every email tells you clearly what — if anything — is needed from you:
If you're in the To field, you need to act. If you're CC'd, you're being kept in the loop — no response expected. Please don't reply-all unless you have something new to add.
🗓️ Meetings
We run meetings worth being in: a clear agenda in advance, the right people, and a decision or action at the end. No agenda? It won't go ahead. Laptops shut, phones face-down (one laptop for the notetaker). Written action points — who does what, by when — land within 2 hours.
⚖️ Decisions & escalation
We move fast and don't like things getting stuck. Decisions sit with the person closest to the work. Day-to-day production decisions go to your EP, Series Producer, Prod Exec or Line Producer. Budget, schedule or welfare issues go to the Head of Production. IT goes to the Office Manager. Anything with network, legal or reputational implications goes up the chain immediately. In doubt? Ask your EP first.
For urgent, same-day communication only — not for decisions, approvals or document sharing. If a decision gets made on WhatsApp, it gets confirmed in writing by email the same day.
Conduct
Being an ambassador for Boldprint
You're an ambassador of Boldprint — please don't conduct yourself in a way that's unprofessional, unethical, or likely to discredit the company.
It's strict company policy that no one may consume, possess or supply alcohol, drugs or illegal/controlled substances while rendering services in connection with a production (including meal breaks).
Safe & well
Health & safety essentials
Your safety is paramount. We want you looked after, working safely, with the right training and support. Please tell us about any reasonable adjustments you need, and flag anything that concerns you straight away.
🚨 In an emergency
Dial 999. Report all accidents — even minor ones — to your Line Manager, who holds our accident books. Incidents on a production go to your Line Producer.
First aid & fire wardens
The Campus Manager and Host (Piano House / TCN) are first-aid and fire-warden trained and can be called on during normal working hours.
If you discover a fire or hear the alarm
- Raise the alarm at the nearest call point.
- On the evacuation signal, leave immediately by your nearest route. Do not use the lift and don't stop to collect belongings.
- Only fully-trained personnel should attempt to use extinguishers — do not take any personal risks.
- If safe and time allows, close doors and windows behind you.
- Go to the Fire Assembly Point — opposite Piano House, on Brighton Terrace, and report to your fire warden.
- Don't re-enter until you are told it is safe to do so.
🐾 Pet evacuation: keep dogs on short leads or in carry cases, escort them calmly to the nearest refuge point, and report any missing pets to your fire warden.
