TESTIMONIALS:
"Rob has vision and ambition; he has the quality of seeing what could be [for content creation within the creative industries] and he has the drive, determination and will to achieve it. This is demonstrated thoroughly by his choice of film projects such as '7 Days in June'; where he took a simple concept and clear need, and applied creative thinking to develop and implement an innovative solution"
Johanna Bolhoven - Creative England
"Rob blends his knowledge, creativity, commercial experience and entrepreneurial energy levels to deliver exceptional projects. He is a great guy to work with and can influence well across all the levels he needs to . He has vision. 7 days in June may have been many peoples pipe dream. The difference with Rob is he makes it happen and has a passion that makes people want to jump on board with him. This passion is also complimented with amazing organisation that means you have no doubt the project will be delivered on time and in budget"
Sandra Rowley - Brookson
"Rob has a remarkable ability to turn ideas into really, often against the odds. A great example of this was his delivery of a fringe event called 'Concept to Reality' at The Greater Manchester Film Festival. Rob had little over a week to prepare, market and deliver this event which was aimed at encouraging the next generation of the creative industry to take the brave step into the world of freelance. His enthusiasm, drive and connections enabled this event to be successfully delivered to an audience of over 70"
John Macaulay - Greater Manchester FIlm Festival
"During the project I have worked with Rob, he has consistently shown diligence, forethought, dedication, resourcefulness and above all a passion for his role and unerring support for others. Through the course of my work I encounter a large amount of people looking to break into or further themselves within this industry and none has stood out so much as Rob"
