“Our newly strengthened Edit offering shows our clients just how much we value craft. This is the dream team we have been looking to assemble for the past year and will help us shape the future of the business. We are so excited to be able to provide this level of talent within our shoot, post, sound offering. With such diverse talent we will be competing at the very highest level.” Richard Ireland & Janet Clarke, joint directors - EMEA, GPS

Joe Parsons said “From my first conversations with Richard and Janet it was clear they have big ambitions for GPS and the edit team. This, coupled with the chance to help shape the department alongside Joe, whose work I have long admired and is known for being one of the nicest guys in the business, made for a very compelling offer and it was an easy decision to come aboard.”
