About
Qualitative research remains my passion. I love finding out what makes people tick and using this knowledge to answer questions from clients; and to find solutions that help my clients commercially and often also, make a contribution to shaping a more cohesive and inclusive society.
I also welcome any enquiries about my skills and experience as a voiceover. To quote my agent "His voice is deep, warm, and compassionate, exuding authority, reassurance, and trustworthiness. A natural storyteller, he brings honesty, integrity, and gravitas to every project, making him ideal for narration, corporate voice-overs, and character-driven work".
I also host the From There to Here podcast in which I speak to people in the public eye about their journey through life. I aim to use this, in part, to encourage people going through difficult times or facing mental health challenges to seek help and to look to a more positive future.
