NHS

The NHS has launched a nationwide project to enable patients with prostate disease to make the right treatment choices for them. I wrote both programmes and directed the interviews with the doctors and patients (Pukka Films)

Shell

Shell International has a large production unit based in Shell Centre in London and over the years I have worked on a variety of videos for them including most recently two staff induction programmes for their plants in Singapore.

Lloyds TSB

Lloyds TSB has an ongoing training programme to make staff aware of financial crime and to encourage them to report anything suspicious. I have written three videos in this series covering topics such as money laundering, identity theft, mortgage and VAT fraud. Powerful dramas bring the issues to life and demonstrate how financial crime is far from victimless as it's often used to fund narco traffic and terrorism. (Orchard Communications)

Standards Board for England

The Standards Board for England is responsible for policing local government, making sure that councillors abide by the Code of Conduct and advising monitoring officers, the council’s legal representatives, on how to deal with any breaches. I have now written three substantial training dramas aimed monitoring officers and councillors. (Jacaranda)

Vive la France

I learned to speak French as a child and taught for a few years and the French Lycée in South Kensington (in English) and so am reasonably fluent. I am a keen follower of French culture and politics and enjoy listening to the radio and reading the classics. Yup, you could call me a francophile! So if you need someone to converse with the natives, conduct off-camera interviews, translate or write sub-titles, then get in touch? Most recently I co-directed a video on climate change for the European Climate Foundation and interviewed various leading lights including the environmentalist and broadcaster Nicolas Hulot and Henri Proglio, the head of Veolia and EDF, France's stated-owned energy company. I have also directed medical case study and PR videos, interviewing doctors and patients across France and Belgium.

Je travaille dans la vidéo en tant que de scénariste. Je suis basé à Londres mais je parle couramment le français et l'utilise souvent pour des sociétés telles que Sanofi Aventis et GlaxoSmithKline pour leurs communications bilingues. J'étais professeur de sciences naturelles au Lycée Français de Londres. Si jamais vous avez besoin de scenarios en anglais specialises en sciences et marketing, surtout n'hésitez pas a me contacter. Je suis particulièrement intéressé à la mise en réseau avec des collègues français pour offrir des possibilités réciproques d'échanges culturels et linguistiques.

Foster + Partners

Foster + Partners have projects underway all over the world and video plays a central part in their communication strategy. I scripted two videos, one about a development in Kazakhstan called the Central Markets Astana and the other in Abu Dhabi about an extraordinary walled city called Masdar that will have zero emissions, energy and water consumption. (The Bank)

Yorkshire Building Society

Yorkshire Building Society holds a road-show every two years. My challenge was to write for four speakers on stage at once in a series of short but highly interactive presentations to communicate their purpose, values and vision. The event was the 2005 Winner of Gold in IVCA Live Events Category (Ovation)

Sanofi-Aventis

Sanofi is about to lauch a new drug for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. I conducted off-camera interview in English and French with doctors and patients and wrote the script for this public awareness video about this distressing disease. (House Media)

Pfizer

I have written videos for Pfizer for over 20 years. The latest was a public awareness video about a new vaccine against cervical cancer. I conducted a series of off camera interviews in English and French with patients who describe the effect of the disease and the value of vaccination. I also interviewed the leading authority on vaccination at her hospital in Paris (House Media)
