We work in the Health and Social Care, Energy and Sustainability, Engineering and Manufacturing and Training and Education sectors. Established in 2002 we have steadily built up a regular client base of companies from across the UK, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">for which we deliver story-driven content</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that reflects their brand and effectively tells their story. Our proactive, inquisitive approach ensures we discover the best solutions. We’re people-focused; building long-lasting relationships with our clients.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">After a strong year of growth, we need the support of a reliable, upbeat and highly organised Producer/Project Manager to keep our projects moving, our creative team in the right place at the right time and most importantly, our clients happy. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">No industry specific experience is necessary. You may have previously been an account manager, project manager, a creative producer or worked in business development. Regardless of your experience we’re open to considering you for the role.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">You can see examples of our work on the <a href="https://www.ht-media.com/portfolio/" title="portfolio"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>portfolio</strong></span></a> section of our website.</span></p>[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||15px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;27px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h4><strong><span style="color: #000000;">About the role of our Producer</span></strong></h4>[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; ul_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; ol_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||10px|||&#8221;]<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Day to day project management on multiple projects, such as mid to large video projects and leading a team where necessary. Project management experience working with animation is a plus but not a deal breaker.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">During projects we like to approach things as if we’re an extension of our client’s team. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">You will be one of their main points of contact and therefore integral in maintaining an effective relationship. You will be friendly and confident when liaising with clients- both in person and online- and will be someone they know they can come to and trust.</span></span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Work closely with our creative and production teams to respond to and deliver on briefs.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">You will be coordinating the diaries of our team to make sure productions run smoothly and are delivered on time and on budget.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">You will be able to take and organise bookings over the phone or via email.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">You will monitor social media and at times be able to be proactive with this. You can create behind-the-scenes content and post social media updates that are relevant, enhance our profile, engage with our clients and display excellent grammar.</span></li>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">You will be interested and willing to learn more about our clients and the sectors they work in.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">You have good communication skills, are friendly and will work well as part of a diverse team. Working with a variety of people in a  wide range of sectors. You’ll know how to adapt your communication styles depending on the client we’re working with.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">You’re proactive and a positive problem-solver. There might be stumbling blocks throughout the production process. This isn&#8217;t a problem as long as they’re responded to correctly.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Production skills would be beneficial but not necessary. We do occasionally need extra help on shoots from freelancers therefore if you have any video, photography, animation or editing experience this would be desirable but again not necessary.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">We’ve recently started using Monday.com to help with project management. Experience of using Monday or similar tools would be useful. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Think we’ve missed something? We’re more than happy to hear why you’d be perfect for this role.</span></p>[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;40px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h4><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Why us?</span></strong></h4>[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Starting at £25,000-£30,000 per annum (pro rata) depending on experience. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">We have a strong focus on our employees at HT and do our best to ensure that there are always opportunities for further training and professional development wherever possible. A perfect example of this is that one of our directors started as an apprentice 10 years ago. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">You’ll have the opportunity to have your voice heard and ideas listened to. As an SME we always try to include all of our employees in company meetings to discuss future plans for growth. We’ll want to hear your ideas of where we can improve or what we should consider doing to aid in our growth.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">We have an open door policy along with regular employee appraisal meetings for you to discuss your role and future opportunities.</span></p>

Women are still really struggling to break into the creative industry. Around 37.2% of the UK’s creative and design workforce is female, despite women accounting for approximately 60% of students enrolled in university arts and design courses.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">There are several reasons as to why this might be the case, such as gender stereotypes, discrimination and bias. So, what can the industry do to change this?</span></p>[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||15px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;16px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h4><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Embracing Equality</span></strong></h4>[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||1px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<p><span style="color: #000000;">To bring about meaningful change the industry must embrace equality; creating places where women can thrive.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Here are some ways this can be done:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>&#8211;</strong> </span>Track metrics and set goals- this can help companies understand what they do well, and areas for improvement.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>&#8211;</strong> Hold leaders accountable- have leaders review metrics regularly and share them publicly to ensure the correct action is taken.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><b>&#8211; </b>De-bias hiring and promotion processes- set clear and specific evaluation criteria that cancels out any conscious or unconscious biases of the process or decision makers.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>&#8211; </strong>Training- upskill managers and staff to gain a better understanding of the issues and how best to deal with them.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>&#8211; </strong>Be flexible- embrace hybrid and remote working and/or be open to healthcare and caregiving needs.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>&#8211; </strong>Call it out- if you witness discrimination or bias, then challenge it and draw attention to the issue.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">These are only a few examples which could help to create a more equal working environment. It is important for companies and employers to assess themselves and see how they can best encourage the development of women in the industry.</span></p>[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; min_height=&#8221;31px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;45px|||||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h4><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Together is better</span></strong></h4>[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-6px|auto||auto||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-11px|||||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||1px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<p><span style="color: #000000;">There are so many inspiring women in the creative industry, particularly here in the North East.

We reflected on the successes of the past year as well as looking forward at what’s to come for the North East.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">From <a href="https://northeastscreen.org/major-sunderland-film-studio-plans-revealed/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="major studio development plans in Sunderland">major studio development plans in Sunderland</a> to the boom of comedy in the area, it’s clear that our region has a lot to give.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Here at HT, we even had our own reasons to be proud, as we were fortunate enough to be nominated for some awards of our own. Cal was short listed for the Rising star award which recognises the industry’s emerging talent, and Dave was short listed for the Professional Excellence Award for Post Production.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">We are honoured to be considered amongst so many talented individuals and companies in our region. We work with incredible clients and love being part of their journey, telling their stories along the way.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">It’s also important to recognise how we got here. Sadly we had to say goodbye to one of HT’s founders in October last year. Our colleague and friend Tony Cartledge was instrumental in all our development, something we will always be grateful for. It was heart-warming to see him remembered along with other local legends at this year’s ceremony.</span></p>[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-6px|auto||auto||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||15px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;16px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h6><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Our Creative Director, Dan Monaghan said;</span></strong></h6>[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||30px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||1px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<p><span style="color: #000000;"><em>‘We had a great time at the RTS awards on Saturday.

<p><span style="color: #000000;">CASC had been working with OWGP to secure grant funding to enhance their manufacturing capabilities in the offshore wind sector. In addition to this they had completed the WEST Programme (<a href="https://www.ht-media.com/upskilling-video-production-for-the-offshore-wind-sector/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Upskilling Video Production for the Offshore Wind Sector"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>just like us</strong></span></a>) to upskill their knowledge and approach within the industry.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">A case study video is a fantastic way to spotlight their successful journey and tell CASC’s story. It can also serve as a powerful testimonial for OWGP’s work and how their support can help transform businesses.</span></p>

<h4><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Aiming for a carbon neutral production</span></strong></h4>

<p><span style="color: #000000;">Years of being a leading video production company for the renewable energy sector has opened our eyes for the need to transition to Net Zero. Last year we completed AdGreen training to equip ourselves with the knowledge and tools to offer carbon neutral productions and become a clean member of the UK supply chain.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">This project offered us the perfect opportunity to implement our new skills.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">During pre-production we took extra steps to ensure all the necessary actions were taken to reduce our environmental impact at every stage of the production.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">We used the AdGreen carbon calculator to accurately measure our impact- looking at all aspects such as waste, materials and even the electricity used in the edit.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The biggest contributor to emissions during this project (and is usually the case for every production) is travel. We took steps to reduce our impact as much as possible- such as taking the ferry, which is a great carbon saver compared to flying- but ultimately we needed to be on-location for the purposes of filming.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">But there is still something we can do.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;">Once we calculate the unavoidable emissions produced by a project, we then compensate for it by investing in verified environmental projects like reforestation. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Obviously, it is only a temporary solution, and we definitely cannot offset our way out of the climate crisis. But giving to verified, impactful environmental projects is a great way to support our journey to real Net Zero.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><em>“We hugely enjoyed working on this case study project with HT Media- they made it really relaxed and comfortable for everyone involved; testament to this is the output from our team that wasn’t scripted or staged, HT Media elicited genuine positive content that came across as just that – and that exceed our expectations around the project. </em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><em>In fact, we were so pleased with the result that we commissioned an extra two video projects with HT Media.</em></span></p>

Looking back on it, an apprenticeship was a great way introduce me to the world of work. At the time I had turned down the opportunity to go to university and wasn’t sure what career path I wanted to follow.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Entering as an apprentice gave me the opportunity to experience the role first hand. It was useful for deciding whether or not this was the career for me and helped me develop useable skills, rather than just the theoretical knowledge I had previously learned at college.</span></p>[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;29px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h4><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Starting my apprenticeship</span></strong></h4>[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;9px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<p><span style="color: #000000;">I remember starting at HT very vividly. After an interview and trial filming day, I was offered the job and was thrown straight into the action.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">My first day was a gruelling 12hour shoot at a local NHS trust. The schedule hadn’t factored in any breaks or time to walk to the different locations throughout the hospital! It was a difficult introduction to working life, but it gave me confidence moving forward.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">In my first year at HT, I had some great opportunities to work on projects with a variety of clients across the UK. Travelling was very exciting, and something I was keen to do- another advantage of an apprenticeship. I learnt a lot about how a business operates and the ins and outs of video production.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Although most importantly, I learnt a crucial skill that everyone should have in the workplace- how to make a great cup of tea.</span></p>[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;29px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h4><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Looking back</span></strong></h4>[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;7px|||||&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<p><span style="color: #000000;">10 years have flown over. I’m no longer an 18-year-old, fresh faced and new to the world of work. Just as I have grown throughout the years, so has the company. I have been fortunate enough to be heavily involved in this growth, and to decide how the company moves forward.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">We have positioned ourselves as a leading video production company for the offshore wind renewable energy sector.

This can be especially true in video production. A job that is often physically demanding, whether that’s working long hours or carrying and setting up heavy kit. However, the high intensity of this work can be just as mentally draining. Just like we sleep, eat and exercise well to ease the physical strain, it’s just as important to address any internal struggles as well.</span></p>[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h4><strong><span style="color: #000000;">What is mental health?</span></strong></h4>[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-6px|auto||auto||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-7px|||||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<p><span style="color: #000000;">It’s something we all have. Our mental health is how we’re feeling emotionally and includes things such as thoughts and feelings.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">It strongly affects our daily lives. Mental health can impact on how we perceive everything in our life, how it feels to us and our ability to do the things we need or want to. Our mental state is always changing depending on current circumstances and our ability to manage it. Although it’s important to realise this is completely normal.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">When our mental health is good, we feel good. We might experience feelings of content, calm or hope. However, when it is not so good, we might feel life is more of a struggle. We could start feeling sad, exhausted, or hopeless.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Whether it’s in our personal or professional lives, it’s important to take notice.</span><a href="https://ore.catapult.org.uk/press-releases/aefirefliesaeinfrared-vision-set-transform-wind-turbine-aircraft-inspections/%20"><strong><span style="color: #800080;"></span></strong></a></p>[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||15px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;16px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h4><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Mental health in our industry</span></strong></h4>[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||1px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<p><span style="color: #000000;">The creative industry, and in particular video production, can be an exciting, fun, and interesting place to work. Despite this, studies have found that creatives are<span style="color: #800080;"><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-foyle-west-43514255" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="three times more likely to suffer with poor mental health" style="color: #800080;"><strong> three times more likely to suffer with poor mental health</strong></a> </span>than the average population.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">In fact, a ‘mental health emergency’ was declared for the film and TV industry in 2019, when research found <a href="https://filmtvcharity.org.uk/leading-change/better-mental-health/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="9 in 10 people"><strong><span style="color: #800080;">9 in 10 people</span></strong></a> working in the UK sector had experienced mental health issues- compared to 65% in the population as a whole. Unfortunately, a continuation of that research in 2022 found figures had only gotten worse.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The industry comes with no shortage of challenges such as burnout, job insecurity, low pay, and long hours away from friends/family. All of these have shown to have a negative impact on people’s mental wellbeing.</span></p>[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; min_height=&#8221;31px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;45px|||||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h4><strong><span style="color: #000000;">It&#8217;s Time to Talk</span></strong></h4>[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-6px|auto||auto||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-11px|||||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||1px|||&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<p><span style="color: #000000;">Whilst industry-wide changes might be needed to address issues directly, there is one key thing we can do to ease the strain on ourselves and those around us:</span></p>
<p><a href="https://timetotalkday.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Talk about it"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Talk about it.</strong></span></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">A simple conversation can be the first big step to changing our perceptions and improving our mental wellbeing. It can help to shine a light on issues, initiating action to improve a situation or just take a weight off someone’s shoulders.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Talking doesn’t need to be complicated or awkward. It can be a quick chat over coffee, a call or text. Even just letting someone know you’re available and willing to talk can have a huge impact.</span></p>

Since then, he has been a mentor and friend to all of us that came afterwards.

Here he gained his first experiences in the world of journalism which set him up for his future endeavours. After this he enjoyed many years working in radio. Perhaps most notably being the voice of BBC Radio Newcastle’s breakfast programme, amongst other stations such as Metro Radio and LBC. Tony would often talk quite fondly of his time in the studio and made many memories there.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Alongside his radio work, he was a well- known figure on local TV. He worked as a reporter for the BBC on programmes like Look North, and produced numerous shows for Tyne Tees and Discovery. In 1995 came one of his most successful moments when he interviewed then Cabinet Minister Kenneth Clarke. Mr Clarke mixed up Consett Steelworks (which had closed in 1980) with Redcar during the discussion, and of course Tony seized the opportunity. It caused quite an uproar, winning Tony an RTS award, as well as a fiver from a colleague which was framed along with a newspaper article in his home office.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">In 2002 he joined forces with long-time friend and colleague Charles Harrison to take over local production company HT Media. Tony continued to produce critically acclaimed TV shows- such as Emergency which aired between 2004-2007- and fronted his own interview show ‘The Sunday Interview’. Over time, Tony was instrumental in transforming the company, working with many large corporate clients. Twenty years later, the company has grown more than he ever imagined and has provided many opportunities and full time careers to local talent.</span></p>[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||15px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;16px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h4><strong><span style="color: #000000;">From the team</span></strong></h4>[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||45px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||1px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<p><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="https://www.ht-media.com/about/" style="color: #000000;"><strong>Dave Hindmarsh, Director of Post-Production;</strong></a> “My friend, colleague, and mentor, we have worked together closely for over 25 years. We became a great team and enjoyed each other’s company as we worked on hundreds of projects together. For a man with such talent and determination he was always self-deprecating and unbelievably modest.  And he was annoyingly always right. Nobody ever had a better sense of ‘finding the story’ than he did. Tony was truly an inspiration to me and a rock in hard times. I have always appreciated his humour, integrity, professionalism, and support. He will be deeply missed.”</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="https://www.ht-media.com/about/" style="color: #000000;"><strong>Dan Monaghan, Creative Director; </strong></a>“Tony has had a huge impact on me over the last nine years, not just at work but in my personal life. He believed in me from very early on and offered me huge opportunities to progress. He was someone you could count on for an unbiased opinion and has given me some great advice over the years. One of the pieces that has stuck with me and became a bit of a mantra is “only worry about the things in life which you can control”. I think it’d be an understatement to say I wouldn’t be where I am or who I am today if I hadn’t have met Tony.”</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="https://www.ht-media.com/about/" style="color: #000000;"><strong>Cal Graham, Creative Production Manager; </strong></a></span><span style="color: #000000;">“When I first joined the team as a university student, I was warned of Tony’s unique approach to things. His straight-forward, no nonsense approach could often be misinterpreted but to those who knew him, his brilliance was obvious. Tony was an incredible mentor and challenged me to be the best I could be. He was always so supportive of me in my academic, professional, and personal lives and I learned so much from him as a result.”</span></p>[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-6px|auto||auto||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-36px|||||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;35px||1px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<p><span style="color: #000000;">Tony’s favourite film was Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and his favourite quote from the movie reflects him perfectly:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><em>“Boy I got vision, and the rest of the world wears bifocals</em>”.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">We have all learned so much from Tony and would relish the opportunity to be on location or in the edit with him, but even more so in the pub. The inspiration and support he gave both professionally and personally will always be appreciated.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">We miss you Tony. Our thoughts are with your wife Judy and son Nick.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Tony’s funeral service will be held at Whitley Bay Crematorium on Monday 24th October at 13:30, followed by a wake to celebrate his life at Whitley Bay Golf Club. Any former colleagues and clients are more than welcome to attend. </span></p>[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; min_height=&#8221;27px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;2px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;">Need our help with a project?</span></h2>[/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjgzMSJ9fQ==@&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Get in touch&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=&#8221;button_url&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#a753e8&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][/et_pb_button][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

This has increased our understanding of offshore wind, and therefore improved our capability to help companies achieve their goals through meaningful video content.</span></p>[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<h4><strong><span style="color: #000000;">What is the WEST Programme?</span></strong></h4>[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-6px|auto||auto||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-7px|||||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<p><span style="color: #000000;">The programme is delivered by <a href="https://owgp.org.uk/" title="OWGP"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>OWGP</strong></span></a>. It aims to support companies grow in UK offshore wind by increasing their competitiveness. Through a series of workshops, they address the predetermined aims set by the participating company- making each session specific to them.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;">Over the last five years we’ve worked with over 25 companies in the renewable energy sector. These include companies such as GE/LM Wind Power, ROVCO and Osprey, as well as being the lead video providers for the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult in the North East and Scotland. You can see some of these videos in the <a href="https://www.ht-media.com/portfolio/" title="portfolio"><strong><span style="color: #800080;">portfolio</span></strong></a> section of our website.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">We’re also sea survival trained, meaning we have the capability to film offshore when required.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The combination of these factors means we’re prepared to make content that actually makes a difference. Whether that’s addressing company-specific/industry-wide issues, or helping companies shout about themselves to inspire the next generation.</span></p>[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; min_height=&#8221;31px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;45px|||||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<h4><strong><span style="color: #000000;">An exciting future</span></strong></h4>[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-6px|auto||auto||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-11px|||||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||1px|||&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<p><span style="color: #000000;">All of us here at HT are very excited for what the future holds.
