Paddy's immensely experienced both as a shooter and producer. He's a people person who gets on well with his contribs, and cares massively about delivering the best possible show. He's also tough enough to handle the roughest conditions and the trickiest talent.

James Bates - Exec Producer Gold Rush

Paddy is an accomplished Producer/Director and very skilful at shooting for obs doc. He is editorially very strong and brilliant at following a story from the beginning right through through to the end. He understands this genre of television very well and milks as much as he possibly can out of every storyline. Paddy is always thinking about what sequences, shots and soundbites the edit will need. He also understands the volume of material that is required for obs doc and is constantly hunting out new stories. Paddy is great at developing characters and puts contributors at their ease when filming.
