Irene Hanley
After working at ATV (now ITV) Irene became aware that it was difficult to crew up freelancers without a one-stop centre to do so. She then co-founded TOVS, which successfully solved this dilemma.
Still very much involved with the day to day running of the business, she works closely with the team to bring together a team that maintains its professionalism without losing its “good sense of humour”! Her Irish lilt and charming wit together with her never ending passion for the business make her the glue that holds us all together.

Chris Bentley
Chris heads up the Bookings Department and runs the office at TOVS. Working closely alongside Irene, he brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the role, having joined TOVS way back in September 2016.
Before joining TOVS, Chris worked across a number of post houses, production companies and shoots. His first job was at Shepperton Studios, where his passion for all things TV and film began. Over the years, he’s taken on a variety of roles, always centred around crewing, scheduling, client liaison and nurturing talent. He’s thoroughly enjoyed the ride so far.
Away from work, Chris enjoys supporting his beloved Leyton Orient (when he’s allowed!) and, when he’s not at the football, attempting to defeat his young son at Mario Kart.

Millie Smith
Millie has built her career across Production and Post-Production, initially starting out as a Casting Assistant before becoming an integral part of the Bookings Team here at TOVS. She joined us in 2023 and has quickly become a valued member of the team.
Bright, professional and full of enthusiasm, Millie brings plenty of energy to her role and loves being part of the fast-paced world of production.
Away from work, Millie enjoys socialising with friends and, most importantly, being a very proud dog Mum!

Lyndsay Bower
Lyndsay has over 25 years of experience working as an accountant in this industry, seeing it from many sides, bookkeeper, auditor and client. Having learned her trade in an accountancy firm in central London she became the accountant of one of the post-production houses there. Getting fed up with the commute she decided to go freelance mainly working from home. Knowing Irene through her work at the post-production house, Lyndsay jumped at the opportunity to work with her when TOVS moved to Leavesden.
