From July last year we were making in between 5 and 6 explainer videos per week. This was us working at our maximum capacity. Tess was writing like a maniac, I was shooting and editing like maniac and Ailsa will illustrating like a maniac. I don’t know how we all coped. We got to September and we finally decided that … Read More
Web Advert
Sometimes a client comes along that totally trusts you. It’s a nice feeling. In this case, it was Daniel from Custom Mobile Apps in Australia. We’d never met, never even spoken before but he trusted us to make an advert for a new App. That’s what I love about my job. It allows Ailsa and I to ‘meet’ and work … Read More
The Green Mile
We’re always told about being green these days. Which is great. But to be perfectly honest, I don’t really think about it. I recycle everything that can be recycled and I’m very frugal with our heating system. But that’s about it. That is until I read an article about how we can all be a bit more green. It got … Read More
How We Work
Any business, regardless of the nature of it, must keep their customers needs and wants at the centre of everything they do.

There are many varied ways of meeting the needs … Read More

Family & Business
Let’s set the story. I work from home with my wife Ailsa. I have done for the past 4 years. We spend 24 hours per day, 7 days a week together. It sounds like a nightmare but it really isn’t. We are friends before anything else and it just seems to work. I’m not going to analyse that. Working from … Read More
Working From Home
Stay with me on this one please folks…. Ailsa and I started The Cuillin Collective a while back now. In the beginning we didn’t work that much. Most of our work days were spent simply trying to find work. From 10 until 3 most days I did the handyman thing. I spent the rest of my days scouring the web … Read More
Working with The Cuillin Collective
So today I decided to write a little piece that details my experiences working with The Cuillin Collective. I have been working with Marc and Ailsa officially for 8 months now and in turn worked with many clients with a massive range of different businesses. It sounds like a cliche, but every day really is different and quite often I … Read More
