The Team
Adam : Director
Adam began his career 25 years ago as an editor for small independent television companies. Since then, there’s hardly a job or type of production he hasn't managed to talk his way into. From directing and producing reality shows, documentaries, comedies, and ad campaigns, to eventually becoming Head of Production at a global advertising agency. This helped him marry the practical, tangible skills of television production with the thought grenades and blue sky brain showers of the marketing industry. adam@sticksandglass.com
Verdy : Director
Verdy has had a camera on his shoulder for 28 years. 3 x Olympics, 8 x Tour De France’s, 2 x Active War Zones, 5 Superbowls 3 x World Cups, 2 Emmy Nominations, 1 x British Dental Association AGM and zero awards. With his C1 and C3 lower vertebrae spasming more daily, Verdy decided to get into post production where sitting down in chairs is more acceptable verdy@sticksandglass.com
Lucas : Technical Supervisor
When S&G got involved with the WSL, we needed someone of pedigree, maturity and experience to take the technical reins of the project and deliver it to the highest standard. Unfortunately we couldn’t find that person, but Lucas was bored at BBC Sport and needed a new challenge. lucas@sticksandglass.com
Jonny : Training and Development
Jonny set up the S&G Skills hub after years of experience in the screen industry education sector. He is passionate about making Leeds a Hub of up and coming retained talent. Winner of Sticks & Glass employee of the week w/c of 9th March 2022 and 4th May 2026. He hopes to repeat these success in Q4 jonny@sticksandglass.com
Will : Dubbing Engineer
During his time at Sticks & Glass, Will has gained experience under some of the region’s top dubbing mixers. With an ever growing credit list, he is now our best dubbing mixer. As our only dubbing mixer, he is our expert in all things audio but he also finds time to be our general technical dogsbody. will@sticksandglass.com
Adam Dean : Technical Manager
Adam has been working in post production and IP streaming since before IP streaming was a thing. Now he's finally got a role where he gets to play with kit and break computers whilst explaining technical things to creative people and creative things to technical people. adam.dean@sticksandglass.com
DC : Colourist / Editor
DC is a wildly creative editor, able to turn his hand to any format. The definition of a no-brainer hire, our clients love working with him and he’s raised the bar of output at Sticks & Glass. Since DC joined, the overall fresh sneaker game at S&G has increased 83% denmarc@sticksandglass.com
Doug : Audio & Post-Production Technician
Currently our strongest Barista, although it's hard to get him to make one these days as he's usually busy making things work and prepping projects. With a strong audio background and an analytical technical brain, Doug is a huge asset to the tech team. We’re yet to find a task we throw at Doug that he’s not immediately brilliant at, but when we break him we’ll let you know. doug@sticksandglass.com
Amanda - Creative Lead
Amanda comes with almost 20 years of experience and 3 Emmy Awards in cutting sport content over in the states. From emotional story telling to whizz bang openers, she's done it all. She swapped the Californian sunshine to join us here in Leeds. It's a huge red flag. amanda@sticksandglass.com

Editing: Tick. Producing: Tick. Camera Op: Tick. Scouser: Tick marcus@sticksandglass.com
