Dale started up One Tribe TV back in 2011, after leaving the BBC after 22 years. Whilst she is Managing Director of the multi-award winning company, Dale continues to be very active in development and has been in the forefront of successfully re-positioning the company during the significant shifts in funding and commissioning during the last 5 years. One Tribe now has two large offices in Bath and Chepstow and prides itself on being a truly independent production company - making it nimble and able to re-act to change quickly. With a remarkably talented core team, One Tribe makes a wide range of factual productions for both UK and international broadcasters, fast channels, streamers and distributors, with storytelling remaining at the heart of everything we do.
As well as managing long established partnerships, in the last year Dale has led the charge into digital with Life At Anna's Zoo, as well as spearheading our cinematic releases.
