Alison started her script editing career as trainee script editor on the fourth series of Casualty, and the following year her work as series script editor was recognized when the series won the RTS award for Best Drama Series.
Her credits as Producer include Medics for Granada Productions, Silent Witness for BBC1, The Stepfather for ITV Productions, and Babyfather for BBC2, which was awarded the Race in Media Award for Best Drama in 2002. Her most recent production is Boy Meets Girl which transmitted on ITV in May 2009.
