About me

I have currently been working for Scotts of Stow one of the UKs biggest mailorder companies with 10 brands under the belt of the company Scotts&Co ltd.

I started here in 2007 intially as a full time Production Assistant, working on all of the 10 brands over the past 4 years.

I gradualy became more involved in the photography process of samples as well as attending nearly all of our location front cover shoots, to observe the process.

I returned to work after my second child in Jan 2012 as a part time PA to Head of Production. I am now involved in front cover campaigns for the brads Original Gift Company and Scotts of Stow. I am involved in all stages of this production from presenting my own ideas and concepts as well as developing others from a brief. I source our shoot locations, provide all products and props for desired brief, I assist the AD on all aspects of the shoot.

I would now like to progress further and develop my skills with a view to becoming an "stills" AD in the future.
