Incredible momentum continues to build at The AFO Group this week as we wrapped up another successful Annual General Meeting, focusing on a future filled with growth, innovation, and expansion—especially with our upcoming initiatives in the United States! None of this would be possible without our dedicated team. We're not just growing in size but also in talent. Investing in our people and enhancing skills is at the core of our strategy. Expect to see new faces and fresh ideas as we continue to grow. As we expand globally, we see opportunities for growth both organically and strategically through M&A activity as we aim to broaden our reach and enhance our capabilities across the UK, the US, and beyond. Thank you to everyone at The AFO Group who joined us at Picturehouse Central this week, and to ITV’s Craig Doyle for his flawless presenting skills, to The Apprentice’s most recently crowned winner Rachel Woodford, and fellow entrepreneur Tom Skinner for their excellent award show hosting. Finally, thanks to the production powerhouses of Sassy Create and Through The I for the fantastic show. Here's to the journey ahead as we continue to shape a remarkable future—taking AFO to the next level. markettiers Hollr Censuswide Opinion Matters 4DC Through The I Radio News Hub Sassy Create #AGM #FutureThinking

There really is no easy way of saying this... It is with a mix of pride and sadness that I announce today as my final day as MD of Through The I, the company I founded 9 years ago. I realise this may come as a surprise but after much reflection, I've decided it's time for my first extended personal break in over 30 years. I'm proud of the talented team we've built at TTI, and I'm confident that the company will continue to thrive. Reflecting on the past 30 years over the past few months has been an emotional rollercoaster with more highlights than 10 seasons of the X-Factor! (And yes I did audition with Howard Kosky, Ben Moss & Russell Goldsmith!) From producing 45 stations live at Disneyland Paris to a radio interview blunder asking the Duke of Kent what his actual job was – through to Magmasters winning a BAFTA & Golden Globe, to heading up the studios at LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group). As Global Production Director for ON24 I got to be in my favourite city of San Francisco & broadcast from across the world. My biggest career achievement by far was returning to the markettiers family to start TTI with Howard Kosky in 2015. Little did I know back in September 1995 when I first met him after blagging my way into a studio gig at Premier, then run markettiers first studios in Clerkenwell that 20 years later, we’d be signing the paperwork for TTI & establish the powerhouse of creativity and technology that TTI is. When we set up TTI, I was desperate for the phones to ring as I saw at markettiers and Censuswide. It was 8 months before we landed our 1st retained client, Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM) (thank you Justin Onuekwusi, CFA & Kassie Siwo-Gasa CMgr MCMI Coach Mentor!) and through hard work, resilience, creativity and an ‘always on’ attitude we built the business with the Board & fantastic TTI team. I’ll be forever grateful for having such a strong mentor, business leader and dear friend in Howard for the past 30 years, helping me achieve so much both professionally and personally. Thanks matey 🙏 However, that’s not at the exclusion of the other 4,420 here on LinkedIn that I’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with! I defy anyone to have laughed as much as I have at work and whilst on projects at all times of the day and night as we have!…along with winning awards with some of you too! 🏆 Although today marks my farewell as TTI's leader, a team I'm super proud of - I'll be working as a consultant to the business for the next couple of months. Don't worry, plans are already in place for a farewell party in late March, and I look forward to seeing as many of you there as possible! For now, I want to express my sincere gratitude. Thank you for shaping my career, entrusting me with amazing projects, for your patience & support through it all! As I close - I’m reminded of our audition song for X-Factor: ‘Ain’t No Mountain To High’ See you when I get to basecamp of my 2nd mountain! #onwards!
