Martha Holmes Transitions to New Post at Plimsoll

Martha Holmes has stepped down from her role as chief creative officer of natural history and adventure at Plimsoll Productions and has transitioned into a new board position.

Holmes will continue to serve as executive producer across key projects as she now helps shape long-term strategy and creative direction in a senior advisory capacity.

Holmes began her career at the BBC Natural History Unit, where she worked on seminal series like Blue Planet and Life, both narrated by Sir David Attenborough and honored with multiple Emmy and BAFTA awards. Her portfolio also includes The Devil’s Climb, On the Edge with Alex Honnold and Life at the Extreme.

“What Martha has achieved, both creatively and culturally, is both peerless and inspiring,” said Grant Mansfield, founder and CEO of Plimsoll Productions. “A singular talent who is also an exceptional team leader, no one has contributed more to Plimsoll’s success and culture. I’m delighted the company will continue to benefit from Martha’s expertise and insights as she remains creatively engaged as an executive producer across forthcoming projects and begins, with immediate effect, a key new role as special advisor to the board.”

“What started as a few of us chasing big ideas has grown into a world-class team telling stories that matter,” Holmes said. “To do that with integrity, vision and creative freedom—that’s incredibly rare. I’m lucky to have been part of it.”
