Editor

Darren Leathley

Fast editor with flair for crafting engaging TV. I enjoy working on programmes that rely on the creative use of music and effects, and often work on pilots or first episodes, setting the look for the series. I have recently moved to Manchester, and am keen to explore the world of work up here! I have a full Avid kit at home, so can work remotely.

I have been working as an editor for over 20 years, starting my career in music promos and reality (some of you may remember the infamous Rebecca Loos pig sequence on The Farm on Five!!). I now work on a broad range of programme types, including Obs Doc, Fact Ent, crime and blue light – for both the UK and US markets

I am in the process of setting up a NWEG calendar, so please get in touch direct re: availability.
