As well as experience with domestic and international broadcasters, production companies, and federations.
She said: "I am thrilled to be joining the Gravity Business Development team. It is a really exciting time for the company with huge deals in the future and working with some of the best names in the business. Being able to offer end-to-end production with cutting-edge resources is a wonderful advantage to anyone working with us. After many years in Production Management, I am looking forward to bringing my previous experience to the challenges and getting to know all the clients, existing and new!"

Blair Wood, Gravity Media - Director of Business Development says of Poppy’s arrival: "It is always very rewarding to bring someone of Poppy’s calibre and experience into the business. As Gravity Media continues to grow and take on exciting new projects, we have looked to build a Business Development team who can maintain that momentum. Poppy certainly fits the bill, bringing fresh perspectives and ideas from an impressive career working with some of the biggest brands in the broadcast industry. It is great to see many of our production clients already benefiting from her arrival and I look forward to the part Poppy will play in Gravity Media’s ongoing evolution."
