Debi Allen & Associates had the pleasure of working with Jonathan at Travel Channel for many years where we provided on screen talent for a number of programmes he produced.

Testimonials
I first worked with Jonathan on GMTV, longer ago than we care to remember, so to join him on Travel Channel was a joy. Studio days were slick, speedy and fun. We recorded three or four programmes in a morning – a date in the diary that I always looked forward to despite the early start. I was also lucky enough to be produced by Jonathan on a number of foreign location shoots. We worked hard, met some great people and saw some fabulous places and to be honest I wouldn’t have wanted to have been there with anyone else.
Jonathan is skilled and kind, fun to be with and in possession of the most amazing ability to always find the best restaurant – whatever the time of the day, wherever you are!
