ABOUT PAUL
Hailing originally from Scotland, I started in TV as a work experience runner in 2005. Since then I have helped produce over 70 different television series. I pride myself on hard work, dedication, loyalty and honesty. I am great with people, contributors and crew. I'm used to filming in a wide variety of situations with people from all walks of life. From sensitive situations to fast paced environments, from hospitals to police cars, offices to mountain tops. Filming with celebrities, CEOs, drag queens, pets, children and presenters.
​
My extensive portfolio includes work on acclaimed shows such as The Apprentice, Hunted, LEGO Masters, Undercover Boss, The Hairy Bikers Chocolate Challenge, Sikh Boxing Warriors, Junior Doctors, Tricks of the Restaurant Trade and The Dog House, to name a few.
I've also worked with brands such as Starbucks, Five Guys, Tripadvisor, Place2Be, The NHS, West Midlands Police, UNICEF and more.
Whether you're envisioning a gripping series, a profound documentary, or compelling corporate content, I bring creativity, adept interview techniques, visual flair and technical knowledge to every project. Together, these strengths produce videos that leave a lasting impression and align perfectly with brand objectives, delivering impact and creativity.
