The Production Guild Awards recognise the considerable talent of those behind the scenes in the UK film and TV industry, currently enjoying a purple patch with studios bulging and crew booked up for months in advance.

Here at The Knowledge we are very excited to be sponsoring the 2014 Awards, which take place on 27th September at The Grove in Hertfordshire and which mark the 15th anniversary of the organisation.

The awards, in association with Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, give a nod to a range of production management fields, including assistant directing, production office and post-production.

Four individuals are recognised for their exceptional work in film and TV production.

Her other recent credits include the new Tarzan film currently in production in the UK.

He will be working again with regular collaborator Guy Ritchie on the forthcoming Knights of the Roundtable: King Arthur.

For outstanding contribution to the development and sustainability of the UK film and TV industry, Stephen Bristow will be the recipient of the Warner Bros.
