Pugh-Williams has served as head of production since 2023 at Storyvault Films. She has overseen the production of <em>Portrait Artist of the Year<\/em> and<em> Landscape Artist of the Year<\/em> for Sky Arts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis strategic move for Storyvault demonstrates our commitment to strengthening not only our leadership team, but our creative production capability,\u201d said Samantha Richards, executive producer and founding partner of Storyvault Films. \u201c2026 promises to be a very exciting year for us. We recognize, though, an even greater need in the current environment to grow a senior team that can adeptly navigate commercial, creative and operational demands as we scale and diversify our output. With her deep operational and creative expertise, we are thrilled to have Claire join our board. In her expanded capacity as a company director, she will play an integral role in shaping Storyvault\u2019s strategic direction, strengthening production leadership and supporting long-term slate development.\u201c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Claire Pugh-Williams has been appointed to the role of company director at Storyvault Films.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7389,"featured_media":24474,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[8270,12134,1453],"class_list":["post-24475","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-claire-pugh-williams","tag-samantha-richards","tag-storyvault-films","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Storyvault Films Appoints Company Director - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/storyvault-films-appoints-company-director-2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Storyvault Films Appoints Company Director - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Claire Pugh-Williams has been appointed to the role of company director at Storyvault Films.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/storyvault-films-appoints-company-director-2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-01-26T17:06:51+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-01-26T18:01:18+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2026\/01\/3-Storyvault-Films-126.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Kloudia Sakowski\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Kloudia Sakowski\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/storyvault-films-appoints-company-director-2\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/storyvault-films-appoints-company-director-2\/\",\"name\":\"Storyvault Films Appoints Company Director - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2026-01-26T17:06:51+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-01-26T18:01:18+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0c0fb596604e018568d0e01fe463109b\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/storyvault-films-appoints-company-director-2\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/storyvault-films-appoints-company-director-2\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/storyvault-films-appoints-company-director-2\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Storyvault Films Appoints Company Director\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0c0fb596604e018568d0e01fe463109b\",\"name\":\"Kloudia Sakowski\",\"description\":\"Kloudia Sakowski is the associate editor of World Screen.
