Recognition and Commendation

  • "My thanks to Eleesha and her team, you were all so accommodating to our many last minute requests, changes and additions. I know the programme teams have appreciated the efforts made to make the experience as good and smooth as possible and you all played your part in helping to deliver this." – Rachael J Wright Head of Production BBC Sport
  • "Just wanted to note that Eleesha was great yesterday delivering the Man United MPAU shoot, which came in at 4pm the day before so she had very little time to prepare access and key elements to her role. Dock10 received excellent feedback from the client, and this was thanks to Eleesha who was the client contact on the day, going beyond her day-to-day duties to deliver a hands on delivery of the event, nothing was too much for her and she showed lots of initiative in pre-empting requests to make their experience smoother. Brilliant work & Well Done thanks Eleesha!" – David Mason Studio Manager Dock10
