ITN Productions has appointed Nicki Purcell as its new head of production.

Purcell joins the company during a busy time, with a raft of commissions from a growing number of SVODs, as well as a record number of hours from its London and Leeds bases. She joins from Crackit Productions, where she was head of production and responsible for the leadership of the production management team.

ITN Productions’ titles include Jeremy Vine, The Killing of James Bulger, The Disappearance of Shannon Matthews, For Sama, Harry & Meghan: An African Journey and more.

Ian Rumsey, managing director of television at ITN Productions, said: “Nicki brings the ideal mix of experience, skill and strategic thinking. She’s going to be a real asset to the team, and I’m looking forward to working with her.”

Purcell added: “The breadth and quality of programming coming from ITN Productions is inspiring, and a testament to the talented production team there. I feel privileged to become a part of them.”
