After a brief spell at Framestore CFC he joined the bookings team at Ascent Media in Wardour Street where over the course of the next few years he worked his way up to Head of Production at St. Anne’s Post. He took over Deluxe’ digital intermediate department at the end of 2006 and oversaw the advancement of its infrastructure and client base into a thriving feature film post facility.
