Here is production designer, Gavin Davies’s CV, and impressive credits list. I think the CV dates from the mid 1990s when the services of crafts people were hired to Independent companies, following John Birt’s re-organisation of the BBC.
Thanks to Ann Chancellor-Davies for sharing Gavin’s CV. Gavin sadly died some years ago.
