Unit has promoted Isabella Wakley to deputy head of production. 

Wakley has been with Unit for almost nine years, most recently working as a senior producer. She has also worked with Smoke and Mirrors during over a decade in the industry. 

In her new role, Wakley will work with head of production Tania De Sousa to lead Unit’s production department. 

Adam Luckwell, Unit co-founder, said: “Issy (Isabella) has been instrumental in the Unit Production department’s success. She has an outstanding grasp of both the creative and logistical sides of production, and her promotion is a natural step in Unit’s ongoing evolution. She builds team and client relationships alike with equal care and sensitivity - whilst always pursuing creative excellence at all times.”

Wakley said: “It’s an honour to step into this role alongside the amazing head of production Tania. We share the same values when it comes to team culture and client partnership, and I’m excited to help drive the next phase of Unit’s growth.”

Wakley’s promotion comes shortly after Unit brought in Drew Jones as its director of film and episodic VFX this summer
