Bill Padley is a Scottish born March 1961, award winning record producer and songwriter.

He won an Ivor Novello Award on 25 May 2006, for the best selling single of 2005, "That's My Goal", by The X-Factor's Shayne Ward. Padley is also credited with a string of No. 1 hit singles in the UK Singles Chart, including Atomic Kitten's "Whole Again", which earned him two Ivor Novello Award nominations, and the production and remixing of the international hit version of "Kiss Kiss" by Holly Valance.

Shayne Ward's first single, "That's My Goal", was released in the UK on 21 December 2005. After selling 742,000 copies in the first week (including 313,000 on its first day), it became the Christmas number one single of 2005, held the top spot for four weeks and stayed in the UK Singles Chart until June 2006, a twenty one week run. It became (at that time) the fourth fastest-selling UK single of all time, beaten only by Elton John's "Candle in the Wind", Will Young's "Anything Is Possible"/"Evergreen", and Gareth Gates' "Unchained Melody" which sold 685,000, 403,000 and 335,000 copies in their first days of sale respectively. To date, "That's My Goal" has sold over 1.3 million copies in the UK. He also produced the number one UK single "The Tide Is High (Get the Feeling)" for Atomic Kitten.[1]
