Trudianne Bedward

Trudianne was born in a deprived area of Birmingham, unfortunately known for its gang violence and unemployment rates being one of the highest in the country.

She didn’t particularly enjoy school but, eventually found her passion in dance and decided to study performing arts. Trudianne later joined a dance agency performing around the world and set up her own dance classes for children. However, as she experience weight issues and depression her passion for dance was lost and she spent the next 6 years working as a barista. It was after the loss of a pregnancy that she decided she needed to get back on track with finding her passion again.

She landed a role with ITV in London and over the years Trudianne has worked on productions such as British Soap Awards, The Chase, and even looked after David Cameron for the Euro Referendum. She’s worked at Channel 4 on various projects and BBC Studios working with the team that delivers campaigns for the likes of Doctor Who and Top Gear but found her niche in events whilst working on the BBC Studios Showcase trade event and the Country File live event. She is paving her own way by creating her own opportunities, including presenting to the BBC in their New York Office and in her current role, as an event producer, pitches ideas and produces event to help attract diverse talent to join the team. She is loving every minute and found her love for dancing again in her spare time. Trudianne volunteers with Butterfly books, creating book launch events in collaboration with organisations such as the NHS , British Army and London Fire Brigade.

Trudianne is proud of where she has come from and is a wonderful role model for young girls in Birmingham and countrywide. No matter what your background, if you work hard enough and focus, you can achieve your goals.
