      Working in creative set construction we create our clients vision to portray their product in the best possible environment, all custom designed and built, specifically tailored to our clients brief.Largely requested are kitchens/living rooms, we have also worked on a number of garden projects created inside one of our units. Often built to very tight deadlines; Kitchens taking up to two weeks.By building the environments ourselves, the client is less restricted. More factors are controllable including lighting; and weather is no longer a problem. Ultimately resulting in money saved from no requirement to hire a property for a small fortune. Having to work to a very high standard under extreme time pressure is something I am proud to be able to accomplish. The work is physically/mentally hard, hours can be unsociable/long to ensure deadlines are hit, but you have a real sense of pride of the achievement before moving to the next project. Using my project management skills I also work closely with accounts to ensure allInvoicing was up to date and correct. I created a spread sheet which holds all information on the builds; separated by tabs, each client has a breakdown of materials and cost. We can easily look back and give a total cost for a previous build, or find the paint colour used should any touch ups or a replica set need to be built. I have designed and created all of the construction health and safety documentation, managed the sign off and implemented the paperwork into daily practice, including risk assessment forms. List below outlining my skills for the job:- framing - boarding - filling- sanding - painting - wallpapering - kitchen fitting - floor laying - second fixing (skirting boards, architrave etc)- door hanging - patch repair - materials ordering and collection - invoicing - health and safety document creation (approved by HSE) - training documentation creation (working at height and manual handling overview/test)

      My role as a Production Executive requires me to manage and oversee multiple projects from the brief received from the client through to the 'go live date;' ensuring strong communication throughout the process, delivering product videos, how to guides and online content. My role here engages me in tasks including script writing, hosting and streaming of rich media content, minor video editing on Adobe Premier Pro, casting, A+ content, managing client expectations and managing shoots. Casting is an area I have a keen eye for and interest in. I research thoroughly into the brand and existing content, finding the perfect match for the production in progress. I have cast models/actors/actresses for a large number of productions, often having to find 'families,' individuals including presenters and 'couples.' Orchestrating in house and location shoots are a key aspect in my role. This includes all areas of pre production; arranging crew, models/actors, locations, release forms, permissions etc.Assisting in production; clip logging, client hospitality, running etc.Post production; finalising the content and liasing with the content team for placement/hosting. At iSite we work with major blue chip brands including Panasonic, Samsung, Canon, Currys PC World, Silver Cross, LG, Britax, and many more...I am continuing to develop my skills including producing, directing and editing.
