KATIE DAVIES - LINE PRODUCER, OCTOBER FILMS
Thanks AGAIN for this Rob, really there are very few directors who can do what you can do. That is deliver storylines (and some) with difficult characters, to order in the most impossible circumstances. You are very talented man, great job!
CRAIG ORR - COMMISSIONER (MTV)
Shooting in a documentary in two difficult countries in no time at all, and all on a micro budget! I am SO SO proud of you guys and really really appreciate all the hard work, hours, blood, sweat and tears that you have poured into this. To make a documentary on this subject matter is hard enough - to make it relevant to an MTV audience and to be able to play so creatively with footage to give a really fair sense of the past and present and reconstruction is a whole different ball game. I can't thank you enough for giving us such a fantastic show. To delicately dealing with the on the ground politics and general health and safety in Syria. You guys truly rock. Thank you.
EXECUTIVE PRODUCER, OCTOBER FILMS

JAMILA METRAN - COMMISSIONER, ITV
Rob was Series Producer for ITV's Bear Grylls Survival School. As commissioner of the series, it was an absolute pleasure to work with Rob. He's a brilliant people person who gets the best out of his crew and talent with seemingly no effort. Incredibly efficient. Transparent and collaborative from beginning to end of production. I enjoyed working with him very much and hope to do so again.
NICK PARNES - OWNER, KALEL PRODUCTIONS
I couldn't have made the STUPID MAN, SMART PHONE series without Rob. At Kalel Productions, we were new to the survival genre, and Rob's attention to detail ensured all the shoot days were perfectly planned, safe and eventful. He was able to cope incredibly well with the circumstances that changed hourly. And he was great at supervising the edits. It was a challenging series to make in the small amount of time we had, but he did a brilliant job. I would work with him again in a second. He's a great manager and team player, and really good fun to have around. I like to think we were like Maverick and Iceman. Too much?
JOS CUSHING - HEAD OF FACTUAL, OCTOBER FILMS
Rob has produced for me on a number of projects at Raw TV and October Films and is consistently one of the most creative and hard working people in television that I have ever worked with. Rob has the rare ability to be able to direct and produce in the field, be fantastic with story in the edit, script shows from start to finish, think laterally to deliver a series in the toughest places on earth and most importantly - be someone a team of people wants to work for. He's always the first person on my list to call, especially if it involves somewhere other producers dare to tread.
SAM MAYNARD - HEAD OF US FACTUAL, RAW TELEVISION
Rob Sixsmith is one of the most tenacious, talented and brave individuals I've had the pleasure of working with. He has produced for me on Gold Rush in Alaska, Jungle Gold in Ghana and Siberian Cut in Russia. All hard core locations with tough logistics, editorial and talent. With Ghana and Siberia Rob dealt with the added issues of making long run series, against air on tight schedules in extremes of heat and cold. He is clever, a leader, an inspired story teller and a gentleman.
