deadline.comSimon Dickson, the Co-Founder and Joint CEO of Fremantle-owned Hospital producer Label1, is stepping down next year after eight years, having described the 2020 lockdown period as a “wake-up call.” Alongside Lorraine Charker-Phillips, Dickson has developed the BAFTA-nominated indie into one of the UK’s most prolific and respected factual producers.
