My love of media production started in 1991 while sitting thoroughly bored in a woodwork lesson at Brownedge St Mary's High School in Bamber Bridge. While we were busily making toast racks, my teacher was sitting in a far corner with the school video camera editing footage of the school trip to France.
He looked equally bored.
I wandered over to investigate and within moments he had cheerfully handed over editing duties to me. From that moment on I never darkened a workbench again and my love of media production began.

I was the first person in the country to ever make a documentary for a GCSE exam and progressed on media courses through college and university before graduating in 2000. By this point I had already started filming weddings and special events for friends and family and had set up a rudimentary home studio.
Within two years I was attracting enough work to set up in business officially and the first official project was a promotional film for Enterprise in Leyland.
Between 1999 and 2016 I produced over 300 projects, including commercial promos, training videos, theatre performances and many, many weddings but as standard definition video was phased out I decided to move almost exclusively into audio work for the next few years. I have also hosted weekly quiz and bingo nights continuously since 1999 and absolutely love it!
As I enter my 20th official year in business there are several exciting new projects on the go, including a new series of promotional films for a large medical company and compiling a series of newly-discovered archive interviews with people from across Lancashire.
Media production continues to be a lot of fun and, as with all things we enjoy, there are never enough hours in the day to produce all the things I want to do. Raising a mic to the next 20 years!
