Meet the team
Jill
I set up Switched-on Multimedia in 2009 after working as a broadcast journalist at the BBC. I am also an associate lecturer in journalism at Solent University in Southampton. I love getting stuck into a project, working in collaboration with like-minded people. I my down time, I play my violin in a local orchestra.
Byron
I joined Switched-on Multimedia during 2023 as a content producer, specialising in filming, video editing, and creating dynamic eLearning content. Before joining Switched-on, I was formerly the station manager of Surge Radio, the University of Southampton’s award-winning student radio station. I love learning languages, playing the piano and writing!
Anna
I’m a communications specialist, qualified educator, writer and facilitator. My partnership with Switch-on Multimedia goes back over nine years. I have a background in national organisations, education, charities and healthcare. When I’m not delivering training or writing resources, music is a big part of my life, which includes playing my cello and singing with a local choir.
Frank
When I’m not filming and editing at my base in Weymouth, I’m out and about in this wonderful town capturing stock footage or photographing the beautiful landscape. Before joining the Switched-on team I worked as a photographer for the MoD. When I put my cameras down, I enjoy a spot of Scottish country dancing as president of the South Dorset Caledonian Society.
Ian
I’m ‘Mr Sound’ but I also love picking up a camera. In my dim and distant past I was a DJ on Radio Caroline but these days I do a weekly radio show and have worked as a broadcast journalist, radio presenter and press officer. I’m a Dad of two (the same two as Jill) and have a tendency to pick up my bass guitar and strum with my daughter in my spare time.
