What People Say About Paddy Hughes
Testimonials from Executives in Film, TV and Branded Entertainment
I've worked with Paddy many times over many years, first in linear and most recently on a variety of brand funded and social first projects. Few producer directors have the ability and experience to deliver across such a wide range of platforms, durations and genres. Paddy's able to draw on a huge wealth of experience but still happy to roll up his sleeves when required to get the job done.

Working with Paddy is an absolute joy. He’s got a natural gift for understanding how to create stories that genuinely entertain. He led the development of an incredible content series with Stefflon Don and through the whole process Paddy gave me such confidence in the process and the vision. I would highly recommend Paddy in a heartbeat.
Chivas Regal
Paddy is fantastic. We've worked together for years on a wide variety of projects where he has excelled across creative and production roles - he can seemingly turn his hand to anything: format development, managing clients, working with A-list talent, running large multi camera shoots...the list goes on. Highly recommended!
Little Dot Studios
I first worked with Paddy at Barcroft Studios back in 2015 when he joined to oversee a large branded campaign for our platform and clients. The success of that project led to Paddy's involvement in a number of other series over the following years. After Barcroft were acquired by Future, Paddy returned to us more recently to continue the journey, and it's always been a great pleasure having him around the team.
Barcroft & Future Studios
Paddy brings an extraordinary level of experience and creative vision. His passion for premium storytelling and knowledge of brand-driven content aligns perfectly with our ambitions, and his appointment signals an exciting next phase for growing our branded slate.
