He most recently worked on World According to Grandpa and Dog Loves Books, and has credits on numerous Bafta-nominated and winning productions including Poppies and Old Jack’s Boat.

His wealth of experience working across quality animated projects for the children’s and family market will be invaluable for Three Arrows Media as it looks to develop its international offering.”
