Colin Webb is one of the UK's most experienced producers of corporate communications. Following a degree in Biology, he joined the BBC as a studio manager before becoming a producer. He left to set up his first production company in 1983 and has been working in corporate communications ever since. He has produced and directed many programmes for the science, technology and healthcare sectors, specialising in translating hard science into persuasive marketing tools that are relevant to non-scientists. In addition, he is active in writing and directing drama for both stage and screen, with two features currently in development.
He's also an avid pilot, total trekkie (if the subject comes up don't say we didn't warn you), top chef so definitely say yes if there's a dinner invite, and has memory for obscure scientific facts that beggars belief.
Samantha has almost fifteen years experience as both a producer and editor, working in Broadcast and Corporate. Her work spans conventional programme making for UK and American broadcasters, as well as short-form experience in interstitials, promos and corporate presentations including a multi-screen video wall for Disneyland Paris. She can reversion programmes to fit specific transmission requirements and has a solid knowledge of Ofcom regulations. Sam supervises all production at Riverhouse overseeing our output and assuring deadlines are met.
She is also a closet zoo keeper and serial pet rescuer and it is not unusual to meet with a small furry mammal or two when you come to see us.
Cathy started her career as a copywriter at Saatchi's in the days when advertising was still fun. Since then she has worked for agencies all over the globe, including FCB and TBWA and of course O&M because if you work in advertising, sooner or later you find yourself working there. She has worked in PR too and is pretty much the first point of contact at Riverhouse.
As a die hard creative, no-one is more surprised than she is to find herself hanging out as a bit of a suit!
Before joining Riverhouse as a consultant Tim Fordham-Moss was with the Publicis Group international PR firm MS&L for over nine years in differing roles including joint MD of the London office, Global Account Director for P&G and Global PR Account Director for Sanofi-Aventis, one of the agency's largest international clients. Tim has over two decade's experience in public relations, working extensively across FMCG, corporate, consumer and healthcare sectors and latterly at senior management levels. This work has ranged across issues and crisis management, corporate reputation, integrated marketing campaigns, international programme direction and co-ordination, senior counsel and the numerous financial disciplines of running agencies, clients and international accounts. Tim has also served as a judge on major international awards, including the IPRA Golden Globe annual awards.
Of course, when you meet him you will probably notice he has a dress sense which even Trinny and Susannah would struggle to fault.
Lee is our in-house 3D graphics specialist who has worked extensively in the fields of corporate identity, medical and architectural visualisation and character animation. In addition to holding a degree in Media Technology and a PGDip in 3D Animation (whatever the hell that is!) from Central Saint Martin's College of Art and Design, Lee is a University lecturer and has also managed high-profile accounts in the logistics industry. Whatever your animation, modelling or rendering requirements, we can honestly say if he doesn't know how to do it, he'll soon find out.
He's known as the office Ninja because of his uncanny ability to slide into work for hours without us ever knowing he was there. We suspect it has something to do with his unwavering allegiance to Batman.
Linda is an experienced freelance editor and sound engineer, the ultimate 'safe pair of hands'. She began her career as sound engineer in music recording, but with the advent of non-linear editing moved over into pictures. Linda specialises in high-definition editing and its associated sound work, including Dolby 5.1, 7.1 and Dolby E for transmission.
She is completely delightful to work with and extremely professional even if she mad as a box of frogs.
Silke joined us in 2006 initially as our assistant editor, following a degree in Media and Cultural Studies from Kingston University. Since then her role has grown and as well as training in retouching, she manages corporate editing, and reversioning. Silke's technical knowledge and experience in editing corporate video allow her to advise clients accuratelyas to the best mode of action for their editing project.
She is also the number one reason you can rarely find chocolate in our office. How she stays that slim is a scientific wonder.
Valerie joined Riverhouse Productions in 1999 as our in-house accountant and bookkeeper.
She has more years experience working in the film and TV industry than she will ever likely admit.
Laura is a freelance Production Manager for Riverhouse. Following a degree in Genetics from The University of Manchester, Laura worked in education and then documentary development & broadcast. Her experience, knowledge and understanding of the production process provide a vital source of information to clients when planning any form of media production and moving image project.
She also has a very down to earth manner which masks a sharp wit and a social calendar that would qualify her for her very own Bystander page in Tatler.
Anne Chick is one of the UK's leading experts in sustainable design and a consultant to Riverhouse. She began her academic career at Saint Martins College of Art & Design and later, the Surrey Institute of Art and Design where she co-founded the Centre for Sustainable Design. Now a Reader at Kingston University and visiting Professor at the University of Calgary, Canada, Anne brings a rare depth of knowledge and academic rigour to the Riverhouse Team, where she is particularly active in sustainability projects and Corporate Social Responsibility Reporting.
Frankly just being in her orbit improves your carbon footprint tenfold.
