About Us - Who are we?

The Garden Studios have been set up by Chris Squires and Paul Gummer

to cater for the broadcast PR industry.

Chris Squires is an extremely experienced lighting cameraman who set up his own business after many years of working in the television industry. He specialises in corporate films, media training and all broadcast PR work. He has excellent contacts in both the PR and broadcast news worlds and works for many blue chip corporate clients.

"I have worked with Chris Squires for over twenty years – from the relative safety of door-stepping politicians in Westminster to the dangers of covering the first Gulf War, for three months, in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

Technically, he is gifted and inventive; artistically, he is creative and perceptive; but, above all else, he is a man I have literally and willingly entrusted my life to.

What you get with Chris is an experienced and brilliant camera-man with an eye for the best possible picture. You also get an ability to meet the ambitions of the reporter who, in many ways, is “the client” in my world. With Chris , it is a two-way street and working with him means that the end-product is always greater than the sum of the parts. He brings something special, something unique, to the creation of great television pictures and great television coverage.

It is evident I like him and that is based upon his qualities as a man as much as his qualities as a technician."

• Paul Gummer is an experienced sound engineer who creates bespoke stings, sound edits, pod casts and writes radio jingles, incidental music, as well as being a cameraman. Paul is without doubt one of the best and most creative sound engineers in the business. With his extensive equipment and experience there is little he cannot do.

Paul Gummer provides a unique service of the highest quality. I’ve worked with hundreds of good sound people over the years, and I thought I was a fast audio editor, but he outshone me by miles! TheGarden Studios are one of the best.”
