Rhona is both a practical and creative person so Producing came as a natural fit. She loves the outdoors and being a team player, again real requirements of being a Producer. Rhona started out as a graduate trainee in an advertising agency, covering all departments before settling in TV Production. She then moved to Production Company side as she felt she could have a more 'hands on' approach to production, it is here that she really learned what TV and Film production was all about, however her Agency experience has always held her in great stead as she understands the extensive work that is involved before a production company gets to see a commercial script. After working in Scotland, Manchester and London, she settled back home in her native Scotland and set up Eyebolls. Eyebolls is a way of life, it allows her to work with incredibly talented people and also allows her to have a family. If she wasn't surrounded by such great people it would be hard, but her business partner and her Clients and Crew make it easy. She feels incredibly fortunate to find her professional and personal balance.

What is your idea of perfect happiness?: Riding our horses and ponies. I love the outdoors and I need horses for my 'switch off' and clarity, my best ideas come to me when I am mucking out! I am a competitive person and I really enjoy working our horses and treating them as the athletes they are and seeing improvement at every competition.

Which living person do you most admire?: My Dad. He is the most honest and genuine person I know. He has passed to me integrity, the love of nature and the ability to dig deep and work hard, no matter what is in front of you. I have huge admiration for my 'farmer Dad'.

What is your greatest extravagance?: My horses! I think you have probably guessed by now that horses are my passion. Work is very important to me, but horses and the overall sport are my 'let go'.

What is your current state of mind?: Happy. Its been a funny old year for everyone, but I have my family and friends (at a distance!) to keep me sane. I have enjoyed having so much more time at home with my three gorgeous children, husband, dog - and of course our horses!
