The project came in under budget and was completed within a 3-month period from start. Redeveloping the Video Service for my current company, I redefined the project process from pre-sale scoping, post-sale scoping and management and delivery to ensure the best ROI. This video production service is now considered in the company as one of the smoothest running., Currently in the UK on an ancestral visa - providing the right to work and live in the country.
