One of Rob’s final credits was as a Line Producer working alongside Oscar-winning director James Cameron to capture Billie Eilish’s upcoming “Hit Me Hard and Soft” 3D concert film in Manchester’s Co-Op Live. Throughout Rob’s work in TV, he was responsible for ensuring that productions were delivered on time and on budget, organising logistics for kit and crews of up to 100 people, and that the needs of a wide range of different stakeholders (eg. funders, production partners, and senior creatives) were met.

While at university he formed the award-winning barbershop quartet, Tagline, and is now the Musical Director for two choirs in Sheffield, Hallmark of Harmony and Carfield Community Choir. Rob is committed to spreading music-making to as many people around Sheffield as possible, regardless of background and prior experience.
