LONDON: As the company eyes further growth opportunities, 7 Wonder has brought on three new executives to its team.

Executive Producer Jeremy Lee has been tapped to lead the team. He joins from U.K. indie NERD, where he developed and produced hit series The 80s: 10 Years that Changed Britain and The 90s: 10 Years that Changed the World for Channel 4.

7 Wonder also hired Patrick McMahon as head of development to boost the company’s slate of factual content. McMahon previously served as head of development at Boomerang, part of the TwoFour Group.

Mandy Bishop also joined the company as head of production of its new Birmingham office. Bishop previously held roles at Endemol and Catalyst TV.

Liza Abbott, CEO of 7 Wonder, said, “This year marks our second birthday and we are incredibly proud of how far we have come in such a short space of time. We firmly believe in creating a destination for both on-screen and off-screen talent, and building a collaborative team that’s passionate about what we do—so Jeremy, Patrick and Mandy make the perfect fit. It was always our intention to expand the team and open an office in Birmingham, but the fact that we have been able to do so, sooner rather than later, is a testament to our hard work.”

Alex Fraser, the chief creative officer of 7 Wonder, added, “We are delighted to welcome Jeremy, Patrick and Mandy on board. They’re joining at a really exciting time, with the company enjoying rapid growth and I’m sure they will play an integral role in driving future success.”
