About me
I'm a freelance TV & Digital Content Producer, with excellent camera operating and editing skills. After 7 years of working full-time for sporting powerhouses IMG Productions, Premier League Productions and British Cycling, I founded Toolebox Films in 2018 to create exceptional video content for brands and organisations in a whole range of industries. I continue to work with the likes of IMG, the BBC and DAZN, while expanding Toolebox's client base has grown to include organisations in fields as diverse as construction, R&D and education.
