Racoon adds Kavanagh as senior post producer

Racoon has hired Karen Kavanagh as a senior post producer. 

Kavanagh has over 25 years’ experience in the industry, most recently spending over 14 years at Halo. Before that she was at Evolutions for five years. 

Racoon has added Kavanagh after another arrival from Halo, Will Garbutt, who joined the post house as commercial director earlier this year. 

Annie Francis, head of production at Racoon, said: “Karen’s vast experience, creative understanding and collaborative approach make her a fantastic addition to the team. We’re excited about what we can achieve together.”

Kavanagh added: “I’m really excited to be joining Racoon. The team there has a brilliant reputation, their future looks bright and I’m looking forward to working with everyone and contributing to the next chapter.”

Garbutt said: “‘Can we have Karen?’, was one of the most common questions I was asked by clients when starting a new project at Halo, so I am delighted that she has chosen to join the team here at Racoon. Karen is quite simply a brilliant post producer. She’s worked in every genre and she’s a perfect fit for Racoon and our progressive approach to providing post services in this new age.”

Racoon is currently working on the likes of Race Across the World, Kitchen Nightmares, Clarkson’s Farm, I’m a Celebrity,, 007: Road to a Million, Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke and The Only Way is Essex.
