Published Wednesday, Aug 15 2007, 11:19 BST | By Joanne Oatts
Birmingham-based production company Maverick has reportedly added some established factual entertainment production talent to its team.
Head of features at Touch Productions Andrew Anderson will now look after Maverick's Channel 4 hit 10 Years Younger, according to Broadcast. The show, which features Nicky Hambleton-Jones, is currently in pre-production for its fifth series.
Brighton-based Ricochet's Emma Westcott - also a former Channel 4 features commissioner - will be working on Maverick's How To Look Good Naked, the show hosted by Gok Wan. Westcott will act as freelance executive producer from the show's third series next year.
Colette Foster, who was series producer on 10 Years Younger and executive producer on Naked, has left Maverick to freelance. Recently bought by All3Media, Maverick has mainly worked on factual entertainment shows but has recently begun a move into drama, with a number of projects believed to be in development.
