Love working with Jay. He's hard-working, creative, has great editorial and journalistic instincts and he always hits the ground running. He's also the kind of person who really brings a team together. In our latest project together he juggled multiple complex shoots, involving vulnerable contributors and high profile presenters. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him.

Jay is a hugely talented and very experienced senior producer with a brilliant editorial mind, a great visual eye, an endless supply of creative ideas and the ideal skillset with which to execute them. He can pitch the tone of anything he's producing with perfection. He's a talented script-writer, technically accomplished film-maker and an unflappable problem-solver. As well as being a fantastic person to work with Jay is also one of the kindest, funniest and most inclusive people I know. He's a strong and inspiring leader, who raises everyone around him up; creating one of the most collaborative, fun and positive work environments I've been lucky enough to experience. Hire him!

Jay has worked alongside us at Loftus Media as an edit producer on two major UK music festivals. He is highly skilled with meticulous attention to detail and has superb creative ideas in the edit. He is extrememly reliable and brilliant when it comes to comms with stakeholders. I can't recommend him highly enough.
