“I was put in touch with Chris for a project in Oxford, Chris has been a fantastic, diligent contractor who has really impressed us. His planning & documentation steered us through the organisational phase with zero faff, clearly demonstrating his knowledge of civil aviation regulations. The footage is smooth & well composed. Chris was punctual, efficient, and unfailingly polite to our staff and the public- and despite some technical challenges went above & beyond to get the job done. I can thoroughly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a high-value, low-faff collaborator.”
