Here at Talented People, we are always asking about you, so we thought it was only fair we told you a bit more about each of us! Talented People is a tight little bunch of four passionate Talent Managers, all from different backgrounds and corners of the globe, but with one thing in common – an insatiable appetite for great content and the people who make it.
This week: meet one of our Managing Directors – Kimberly Godbolt….
Wistful, with tea
Based: Surrey
First job in TV: Work experience on an Esther Rantzen chat show
Worst moment in TV: Losing talkback when collecting a lethargic and jumped up celebrity band from their dressing room to get to the studio for a live performance. I was desperately trying to hurry them up, knowing they would be late without a way to communicate that fact. They were late, an embarrassing live moment ensued and I got a rollicking. That awful moment, or having the best series I ever filmed shelved for legal reasons!
Career highlight: Singing ‘Easy Like Sunday Morning’ around the piano with Lionel Ritchie himself. Maybe setting up Talented People? Close call.
Personal Life highlight: Winning first place in a dance festival for my tap version of Sugar Plum Fairy. Or – eek – should I say having my kids?!
Favourite Food: A top quality RibEye steak, chunky chips, garlicky green beans. Heaven.
At the weekend, you’ll find her: Out building dens with the children, or in – lighting the woodburner whilst binge watching a series.
Currently binge watching: Funny you should ask! Drama – Lupin. Doc – The Yorkshire Ripper. Comedy – Famalam.
Role at TP: Joint MD with Rosie which means much spreadsheet, admin and numbers joy. The other part of my job is to work across the senior headhunts, as well as to make sure our existing clients are happy, that new clients find us and have the information they need, and that candidates are taken through our fair and responsible staffing process. Hosting Facebook Live sessions, which have been an accidental hit.
Most likely to say: “My tea’s gone cold AGAIN” (mornings) & “Is it beer o’clock?” (afternoons)

Kimberly Godbolt, Joint MD of Talented People, gives her opinion on what's happened to the content-making market since late 2022. It’s been about 18 months since we sensed a downturn in the TV market at Talented People. About 12 months since we started having to make...
Joint MD of TP Kimberly Godbolt ponders of the making of season two of The Imposter Club podcast. When I put the headphones on, I’m transported into 'Podcast Me'. Which is kind of like 'Director Me' from the old days. I step into a bubble wearing that headset, where...
1st June 2023 Happy Pride month one and all! We know that it’s not enough to simply change your company logo for a day/week/month, or churn out some supportive sentence we saw on a meme #virtuesignalling. But I hope that by now you know that TP means business on the...
Kimberly Godbolt, joint MD of Talented People, writes about her experience at this year's Sheffield DocFest Just back from Sheffield DocFest, and honestly? I'm buzzing. Not just from the caffeine overload required to survive three days of back-to-back screenings and...
It's been quite the year for all you talented people in TV. So we felt creative, and perhaps a little bit philosophical, and wrote a poem, or lyrics to a song. It's channelling Fairytale in New York vibes we reckon... what do you think?Channels Change (But Stories...
It was a last minute thing for us, going to Edinburgh TV Festival this year. Of course, it’s the kind of industry event we should be at every year - it's a perfect mix of business and pleasure for TP: mingling with both indie and broadcaster clients as well as...
