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, to filming with drag queens, with children and with talent. I also take my skills and experience into the edit to manage the offline where I always build a good relationship with the editor, as we work together to make something we're proud of.
