The Managing Director of the company is Jason Haigh-Ellery. The company name, "Big Finish", comes from the title of an episode of Press Gang (coincidentally, a television series co-created by Steven Moffat, who would go on to become the executive producer and lead writer for the Doctor Who TV series).
