Established in '74, Cinefocus was a leading UK camera rental & sales company until ‘91, and the environment that I grew up in. I earned my first £50 cleaning equipment returning off hire from Gerry Anderson's 'Terrahawks' in ’82, and many productions that followed, including Aliens...
In conjunction with secondary 6th form education, I apprenticed in business management, broadcast and film equipment from ‘88, under MD Tony Covell and his team, with full access to all aspects of the business.
