Bill Morrison : MD and Head of Finance & Business affairs
Bill gets all of the jobs no one else wants to do, like dealing with contracts, managing the finances, maintaining the infrastructure, etc. He occasionally is given a role in a production but never gets a credit.
Ann Morrison : Head of Productions
Ann oversees all development and production work which in effect means she's supposed to know who, where, when (and how much?).
Current holder of the long service medal.

Pays the bills and answers to the word 'receipt'!
