Andrew Branch

I began my professional acting career playing a schoolboy in the original West End production of Alan Bennett’s ’40 Years On’.  After a number of years working in TV, film and theatre in London and the regions, I joined the BBC Radio Drama Company and that’s where my enthusiasm for the spoken word really developed. Between the RDC, BBC Education and BBC English I spent a total of eight and a half years under contract to the Corporation. Anne was also there for some of that time and we worked together as regular presenters of  ‘Poetry Corner ‘and’ Let’s Join In’. I also adapted and dramatised a number of books and composed music for several productions for The World Service, Radio 3 and BBC Education.

It seemed a natural progression to move from acting on the radio to producing for it, combining the various skills I had developed. Anne and I set up RBA Productions about 20 years ago and we’re delighted to say that we remain among the market leaders in the audio recording industry and are enjoying the challenge of embracing new and ever changing technology.
