The new role was established to support STV Productions’ plans for domestic and international growth by building on its strengths across specialist factual and documentaries. Marshall-McCrae previously worked at Red Sky Productions, where she was the head of development and led a production team that secured BBC commissions such as Island Medics.

Marshall-McCrae’s other credits include Prison: First and Last 24 Hours, Kirstie’s Handmade Christmas, Skint, Strippers, One Born Every Minute, Bangkok Airport, Wedding Disaster Specials and Location, Location, Location.

Michael McAvoy, STV Productions’ head of factual, commented, “Rosy Marshall-McCrae is a hugely talented, passionate documentary developer, producer and director, so we’re delighted to have recruited her to our newly created head of factual development role.

“Rosy’s considerable skills in developing and producing factual programming that takes the viewers into fascinating precincts and tells stories in a compelling, revealing and exciting way will be invaluable in helping us secure many more hits in the factual genre.”

Marshall-McCrae added, “I’m excited to be joining such a well-established team who already have such a great reputation for making quality programs. I’m looking forward to helping the team secure more series, some of which I hope will become landmark commissions and cement Scotland’s position as a place that can deliver bold and outstanding programming.”
