Sinead Sweeney, studio manager at dock10 since its inception ten years ago, has died following a short illness. dock10 announced the death of “one of its brightest talents” this morning, and said that Sweeney passed away peacefully surrounded by friends and family in London.
“Sinead was a much-loved member of the team and will be deeply missed by everybody who worked with her,” said Mark Senior, CEO of dock10. “Her contribution to dock10 will never be forgotten, she will forever form part of our DNA. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, friends and colleagues.”

During her career she helped deliver some of the biggest entertainment shows on television, including The Voice, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, A Question of Sport and Dragons’ Den.
