A little bit about me
I’ve been running around with microphones since the age of 8, so it was no surprise to anyone that after a brief life as a musician, and a pint or two with the late, great, John Peel, I found my feet in the television industry as a Studio Sound Supervisor at the MTV Studios Camden. One thing led to another as it does, and I now have 23 years experience in my chosen field of Location Sound Recording. It’s been my pleasure to have travelled extensively at home and abroad in this role, and have worked on some superb productions; High-end documentaries, commercials, drama docs, factual entertainment, observational documentaries, magazine shows, four feature films, a tonne of short films, and a tonne and a half of corporate and branded content. I’m also a certified and insured drone operator.
In 2011 I was able to take time out to fulfil an ambition of producing my own comedy documentary: ‘SplinterBike’ was a year long project, and I’m very proud to say it went on to be broadcast in 6 countries, and included in Emirates’ and Singapore Airline’s in-flight entertainment.

Tim is one of the best sound recordists I’ve had the pleasure to work with. Technically Superb, works like a demon and brilliant company on the road.
