Biography

Bob has been a professional editor for over twenty years, and personally funded the first two years of MAMA Youth Project's operation. Bob started his television career in 1982 as a Video Tape Operator for Humphries Video Services. He went on to join The Services Sound & Vision Corporation in 1987 where he cut his teeth as an editor on different types of programming including light entertainment, news and documentaries. Following BBC training, Bob became a freelance editor and worked at various facilities in Soho, before setting up his own - bcPost. In 1996 Bob took this facility to the next level by purchasing his first Avid Media Composer, which attracted clients such as the BBC, Endemol, Ginger Productions and Tiger Aspect. In 2002, Bob closed the facility to start MAMA Productions, specialising in corporate videos. Then, in September 2005, MAMA Productions funded an experiment and recruited young adults to make an entertainment show called 'What's Up'. This experiment proved so successful, it led to the formation of the MAMA Youth Project. In 2008, Bob decided to put all future commissions through the MAMA Youth Project, using talented newcomers who had worked on 'What's Up'. This enterprise became very successful and turned over 45,000 in 3 months. However, due to the legal limitations of a charity earning income, Licklemor Productions had to be formed - which is now MAMA Youth Projects commercial arm. On a personal level, Bobs great strengths are his creativity, adaptability and ability to understand what a client wants. He is also quick to recognise new talent and give them the opportunities they need.
