James Bridgford, Managing Director

My responsibilities cover a strange mix of everything whilst also very little directly.

I studied Film & TV production in Liverpool and have spent 18 years working across the film, tv and media industries. The last 12 years have been in equipment rental and before joining Get Set I was the Operations Director at a leading multi-camera and technical management rental company across tv, theatre and live event broadcasts.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

I love to be outside so can often be found talking a long walk with family and friends (ideally with a café or pub lunch along the way). 

What is your favourite shoot you have ever worked on?

A couple of standout shoots I’ve been involved with would be Season1 of ITV hit Trigger Point as well as Stormzy: Live at Victoria Park

Why do you think it’s important that GSH focus on sustainability?

It’s important we focus on sustainability because it’s not just about ticking a box. It’s about us all making smarter choices for the long term. We’re part of an industry that can be waste heavy, so if we can help to change that, why wouldn’t we?
