CHARLIE ANDERSON
Charlie is a multi-award-winning director, producer and creative innovator. Over the past 25 years he has produced numerous TV shows and live events for major broadcasters on both sides of the Atlantic, including the BBC, Channel 4, NBC, and Discovery. His impressive list of credits includes the BAFTA award-winning Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, RTS award-winning The Hotel Inspector, and a host of other hit series, from Ibiza Weekender and the NTA Award-winning Pineapple Dance Studios to celebrity winter sports contest, The Jump.
In 2017 Charlie took the bold step of moving exclusively into live event production and has since worked on sporting events and ceremonies everywhere from LA's The Forum to The Birdnest, Beijing. His work as both a key creative and broadcast director on The League of Legends World Championship Finals has since earned him three Emmy awards - a testament to his singular talent and immense dedication to the craft.
Background
Charlie was born and raised in Highbury, North London, and spent his early years surviving life on the notorious Marquess Estate; a crime-ridden warren which has since been raised to the ground. A fifteen year-old drop out, he quit school in 1992 to pursue a career as a rave promoter and drum & bass DJ, but gained only mediocre success and a lifelong case of tinutus. Five years and many a late night later Charlie landed his first role in production on a show called Robot Wars, where he spent 90% of his day lighting cigarettes and cracking beers for his childhood idol, Craig Charles - otherwise known as Lister from Red Dwarf. Needless to say, he hasn't looked back since.
These days Charlie can be found living in Devon with his wife Jo and thier children, Alfie and Florence. He remains an avid collector of old-school vinyl and lifelong supporter of his boyhood football club, Arsenal FC.
