Why form WMSH?

I used to work in the music industry, managing venues, producing shows and working on festivals. It was exciting and challenging, but I wanted to bring the engineer and tinkerer in me to work and saw an opportunity to form a new kind of creative production company.

Outside of work…

I’ll be outdoors hiking in the woods, along cliffs, by rivers or the sea, enjoying the fresh air and swimming (when its warm enough!).

Why form WMSH?

I was looking for a challenge at a company that would utilise both my branding and creative skills and love of events and production. That company didn’t exist, so Fraser and I started it on a kitchen table. I also wanted to do good for people in building a workplace that values unique perspectives and supports well being and growth.

Help a Cirque de Soleil fire eater visit different hardware stores in Ibiza when his fire-eating fuel didn’t arrive on time…and help him mix and test different types of petrol in car parks-their burn time, the amount of smoke they produced, the colour of the smoke, etc.

Colour: purple. Animal: unicorn. Time of year: summer. Hot beverage: chai latte. Hype-up song: The Fighter (Keith Urban ft. Carrie Underwood).

Most rewarding part of WMSH?

Seeing the reactions of members of the public to things we’ve made or produced; it’s great to know that you’ve brought a little bit of joy to someone’s day! I also enjoy creativity and variety, so a job that offers new problems almost daily is a no-brainer.

Outside of work…

When my three children allow, I love painting, making my own clothes, walking and summer beach days.

Strangest thing you’ve done at WMSH?

Create a gigantic candyfloss on a prop street lamppost and use a jet washer to mimic rain and see if it could withstand rainfall. But I can’t ignore the request of wrapping a present in the shape of a mummified body.

Outside of work…

I’m either playing PC games, going to charity/antique shops or doing small illustrations.
