Background

About Thomas Powell

You can’t have multiple careers.’ I was told this often. Donate 100% towards only one career. Looking back, one word comes to mind. Perseverance. A word I adore. Many people said I wouldn’t be able to make it work, yet here I am in the midst of it. I have persevered, and I’ve loved every minute of what I’ve done and continue to do so. If you dream it, put in the time, effort and energy, you can make it. This links to a lovely piece of knowledge I was gifted one day. ‘Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.’ You’ve likely heard people say to you that they are hard-working. What sets me apart is that I believe time is money, and therefore I guarantee a hard-working environment where my team and company/client benefit from the rewards. I’ve wanted a profession in film since I was 11 years old. The determination and perseverance have allowed me to achieve the following: • I’ve saved £1570.22 across three projects where I have been in a manager position in the production department. • I put you at the centre of the project in order to meet your product aims. • I lead productions by making real-time decisions so that filming can continue without being halted. My second occupation has allowed me to further develop my skills through experiences such as: • I’ve augmented the remarketing guides for improved communication to new starters of their required role. • Brexit created a problem with remarketing exported vehicles. I’ve restructured the internal process and as a result, I've boosted department-based timings for working complex cases. • I’ve filmed and/or edited 22 comms videos with the aim of raising the knowledge of all Collections staff through a visual insight into each team’s work. The hard work combines with other components I’m passionate about. These are teamwork, communication, organisation, problem-solving, originality and time. Speaking of teamwork, I believe each member’s individual passion helps a team succeed. If everyone was the same, we wouldn’t be able to think outside the box and exceed expectations. When I lead a team, I empower my colleagues to showcase their individuality. Through this method, we uncover new strategies to implement for continued success. However, I am aware that we are human. If something goes wrong, I gather my team, we break down what happened, rebuild and push forward with positive outcomes. That’s enough about me though. I’m three years into building my careers and it’s been a great ride so far! If you’re looking for someone to assist on your production, let’s connect and discuss.
