Hello. Let’s collaborate!

I work across the UK, Europe, USA (Visa), and further a field - I’m 40 minutes from Manchester International Airport and have my kit packing skills for International travel is down to a fine art.

Manchester & Yorkshire

I live in the beautiful Calder Valley, near Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire. I'm close to all the major cities in the region and maintain a production office in Manchester.

I frequently travel across the UK for work, from London to as far south as Cornwall. I also have strong relationships with crew, rental, and post-production houses across the UK, USA, Europe, and Asia. Even if I’m not involved in a project I’m always happy to help connect like minded creatives.

Documents, Visa’s & ATA Carnet

I frequently work in Europe, the United States, and Asia. I hold a US I Media Visa with Global Entry and have extensive production management experience with import/export documents, such as the ATA Carnet, for moving equipment across borders.

I have established key contacts for crew, equipment, and facilities across many countries, and I specialise in transatlantic production services—assisting UK clients shooting in the US and supporting US clients with their UK-based productions. In addition, I’m an RoSPA Advanced driver with a clean licence, and regularly hire and drive a variety of vehicles when working overseas.

This international experience allows me to navigate the logistical challenges of global productions efficiently, ensuring smooth operations wherever the project takes me.
