About Us

GARY WALES

Creative Lead & Client Director

Gary is accorded the title of Creative Lead which we think means he gets to be king of the crayons. It keeps him busy and out of our hair. Gary’s social life and weekend antics puts the rest of the team to shame! It becomes quite depressing on a Monday morning when Gary tells you of all the things he got up to, as you reflect on a weekend where you just walked the dog.  His passion for all things creative and cultural plays a big role in his spare time, often spent at the theatre (both side-stage and in the stalls), as well as in the creative output of his work. One of Gary’s claims to fame was designing the album cover for Ministry of Sound Desert Annual 2012 – some people are just too cool for school.

STEVE SAVORY

Lead Editor & Camera Op

When Steve first joined CH his dreadlocks were so long he could sit on them. He’s a talented and intelligent Editor, brilliant at crafting a narrative and creating that all so important pacey impactful edit. He’s pretty good at filming too, looks for those creative shots and will always make our clients look good on camera. He’s a technical wizard – warrior level when it comes to trouble shooting and keeps the CH production line going. A music festival lover and mosh pit enthusiast, Steve plays the guitar and sings and can often be found at open mic sessions in Reading. At lunch time he will often be found enjoying a banana or hard-boiled egg at his desk (he doesn’t need anything else!).

DIANA BLANDEN

HR, Finance Director & Founder

Diana is the (Grand)Mother Hen of CH. She is an extremely important member of CH and we are all very nice to her, otherwise we don’t get paid. One of the founding company directors, she has been involved in CH’s rapid growth and success since day 1, helping to recruit the crème de la crème of video makers. Mum to our MD Emily and Grandmother to 4 little scamps, Diana is a fountain of wisdom and we all turn to her for advice (for example, whether our insurance permits us to swing our cameraman from a lampshade in order to get the perfect shot). And her house is very nice for when we need a filming location at short notice. Not that we use her lampshades of course…
