Meet Our Team

Andrew A Wilkinson
Founder & CEO

Andrew A Wilkinson (familiarly known in the business as Andy) has worked professionally in the film, TV, and Theatre business since 1988, first as an actor, fight choreographer and sword master on a number of major Hollywood films, then later as a film and theatre director, writer and producer. Please check his profile pages and showreels on Directors UK,  Spotlight, and IMDB (imdb.me/andy44)

Wilkinson Productions Ltd is his multi-media entertainment company, formed in 2000, which has produced a number of films and documentaries (all distributed), as well as commemorative theatre productions at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, London, Warwick Castle, and Sherborne School.

In the summer of 2017, Wilkinson Productions Ltd was appointed as an independent radio programme supplier to the BBC. This new venture arose from a chance encounter at the de Haviland Aircraft Museum in April 2017 which led to the production of “Radio Brats” – a documentary about the radar and technology apprentices who left grammar school in the 1940’s and 50’s to join the RAF. 

Andy became the executive producer for audio and a small team of audio and music experts have joined Wilkinson Productions Audio.
