Seeing a gap in the market in walking tours in Birmingham and also Manchester, together with his love for all things TV and film, set up the immersive film and TV locations walking tour. It’s been a labour of love and has been passionate about celebrating each city’s rich film and TV production history from the get-go. With a huge surge in high profile productions being filmed in the city from Mission: Impossible. Dead Reckoning to Spielberg’s Ready Player One, it felt like kismet.
