TV Safety Services

“An expedition leader and safety & security specialist with over 25 years of international field experience across more than 100 countries and a further 10 years of military experience.”

I am an expedition leader, Health & Safety expert and safety & security specialist with over 25 years of international field experience across more than 100 countries and a further 10 years of military experience. My career spans expedition leadership, TV and film production support, complex project management, and advisory roles for high-profile organisations. 


I deliver trusted, reliable expertise in some of the world’s most remote and challenging environments, from deserts and jungles to mountains and rivers. At the core of everything I do is risk management: keeping people safe, secure, effective, and able to achieve their goals.

Core Capabilities

we are aware that many film and television productions are getting more adventurous and travelling to more remote or hostile regions of the world environments. Many locations do not have first world medical facilities and so it is vitally important to have qualified medical professionals on-site should the unexpected happen. We can provide the peace of mind to allow you to focus on the production of your project. 

We can provide full medical and logistical support for production teams and have an impressive portfolio of experienced staff on our books. Services include:
  • Safety Advisor for TV and film productions
  • Expedition Leader for remote and technical expeditions
  • Advanced logistics and operational planning, including research on airports, transport, accommodation, medical facilities, venues, and field locations
  • Casualty Evacuation Plans  
  • Risk Assessment  
  • Pre-departure training courses  
  • Satellite telephones
  • 24-hour remote medical support 
  • Medical equipment  
  • Health & Safety advice and risk assessing
  • Comprehensive global safety and security planning for exploratory projects
  • Worked on multiple TV productions, both on-screen and behind the scenes - from 'SAS: Are You Tough Enough?' to 'Human Planet' and 'Extreme Railways'
