I cannot recommend Simon highly enough. From the outset, he demonstrated exceptional skill as a news archive producer. He is thorough in his approach, highly organised, and solutions-oriented, always finding efficient ways to overcome challenges. What stood out most is his clarity in communication and his patience throughout the process, making collaboration smooth and stress-free. Simon consistently delivered well-structured, accurate findings that greatly enhanced the quality of our work. If you’re looking for a reliable, detail-focused professional who brings both expertise and professionalism to every task, Simon is an excellent choice. I would be delighted to work with him again and strongly recommend his services to anyone in need of top-quality research support.

Simon was our Archive Producer on an 8 episode football documentary for Netflix. Simon has a great archive knowledge and is extremely familiar with most libraries. This was a great asset and he was able to source all footage as requested by the editorial team. It was a difficult series with tight turnarounds but Simon was calm under pressure and kept across all the many changes that happened across the series. He had a good grasp of the archive financials and kept Production up to date with costs during the process. I would happily work with Simon again and would therefore highly recommend him.

I have recently had the pleasure of working with Simon on a couple of shows and have found him to extremely hard working, incredibly meticulous and unflappable under pressure. He has great instincts for character and story, and has made an invaluable contribution towards the programmes.

What's more he has always been a pleasure to work with, and I while I hope to work with him again in the near future, I'd also recommend him highly to others.
