BERN CORRI - ASSISTANT PRODUCER (CREATIVE)
Since meeting Bern in 2016 when we all got together for the first ever Maggie’s on the Runway it was obvious that he was a very talented and creative person.
Since the show Bern has continued to be part of the team sourcing material and suggesting ways in which to improve our production. His recent input to Runway on the Runway in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust was significant.
Bern who himself went through treatment for ethmoid cancer, which resulted in him losing his left eye, is now registered blind and has recently suffered a serious setback in the loss of sight in his right eye.
Not one to give up easily, Bern will continue to work work with us using the latest accessibility technology for the blind.
