“[Jo and Helen] both bring a wealth of knowledge and industry experience to their respective positions and will be valuable additions to the SLR Productions team,” says Suzanne Ryan, chief executive officer, SLR Productions. “Their appointments come at a time when the company is continuing to grow as we expand into consumer digital content via the ‘Guess How Much I Love You–Interactive Episodes’ iPad application and our first live-action production, ‘Sam Fox: Extreme Adventures.’”

In her new position, Thwaites will manage the business of SLR’s current and future slate of productions. She joins SLR Productions with more than 15 years of experience in the industry, most recently as business affairs manager, commissioned content at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
