As the Operations Manager, I initially worked with the Inside Out Group on the replacement of the video wall and operating system at Nottingham City Council's Traffic Control Centre. It was a natural and easy choice following their CCTV installations on the Nottingham Express Transit project. It was delivered on time and without fuss. Very good job indeed. On a personal level and as a visual illustrator and animator for construction projects for Chumleys Art & Illustration, I have been tasked to provide highly visual 3D models a couple of times for their time-lapse and highly polished productions

The Inside Out team provide a great service. Working in the railway environment, each site has it's own unique characteristics. All of which is met with great enthusiasm by Inside Out. They have travelled the length and breadth of Scotland to provide us with recording equipment. The films created are a great way for us to promote the very little seen or understood works carried out over the weekend and blockades within the track renewals industry.
