I Started working life as a Marine Radio Officer, then came ashore and continued work in communications, commissioning  some of the first ever personal radio telephone systems in London.  I commissioned and serviced the first  radiophone systems in the Palace of Westminster,  the Stock Exchange, Kensington Palace and many  Minicab firms in the grubby back streets of the Capital. In the 1980s, I decided to go self employed as a film maker, having had no experience or  training in the work, but I did have a video camera. Highlights? Working with the Duchy of Cornwall, the first film maker in Roald Dahl’s writing shed,  6 years on The British Book Awards to name but a few!
