‘Too Hot To Handle’ Firm Thames And ‘The Apprentice UK’ Producer Naked Name New Managing Directors
deadline.comThere’s new blood at the top of Fremantle UK’s Too Hot to Handle co-producer Thames and The Apprentice maker Naked. At Thames, Charlie Irwin has been upped to Managing Director from his current post as Director of Programmes, while Tom O’Brien’s acting Managing Director role at Naked has been made permanent.
They’ll both report into Amelia Brown, who was named CEO of Fremantle UK following the resignation of Simon Andreae, whose departure we told you first about in April.
O’Brien has been with Naked since 2016 and succeeds Fatima Salaria, whose departure was announced back in January. She had replaced Andreae, who we revealed had faced internal misconduct complaints before his exit.
Irwin replaces Brown, who was initially set to exit Fremantle but took on the CEO post after Andreae’s exit. In further news, Leilah Mason has been appointed Head of Production and Helen Moore Deputy Head of Production at Thames, both reporting to Irwin.
