About Us

Hotbed Media is the team behind internationally successful formats like Win My Wage and Star Portraits, as well as high-rating pop docs and factual entertainment shows.


Led by Chief Executive Johannah Dyer, Hotbed has built a reputation for delivering high quality, great looking and entertaining shows, on time and on budget.


Since its foundation in 2000, Hotbed has grown to become an exciting and innovative company, with factual and entertainment credits including Star Portraits with Rolf Harris and Pete Waterman and the Coventry Choir for BBC One; Win My Wage and 100 Worst Britons for Channel 4; Everything Must Go and Solution Street for ITV1; and Build, Buy or Restore for Discovery Networks. 


Hotbed’s productions have sold to territories around the world, and versions of the company’s award-winning formats are currently in production in Canada, North America, France and Holland.


Hotbed may have a global outlook, but we’re proud to work with some of the best talent in the UK, and we’re especially committed to nurturing Midlands-based talent at all levels.
