In just a couple of weeks our first film for the Andrew Hill Hair Salon hit over two thousand views and is still rising.

Featuring competition winner Elizabeth, the film shows Andrew Hill and his team creating a whole new look for her in style, cut, colour and make up. When the process was complete Elizabeth’s new look literally drew gasps of amazement from staff and clients.
Andrew and the team are delighted as the film is outpacing both their previous videos and their competitors by far and they are committed to using video in a big way from now on.

The ‘Learn to Live’ presentations to large groups of young people across schools and colleges across the region feature actual first-hand testimony from people effected by road traffic accidents. This includes Police, Paramedics, the Fire Service, drivers, parents and friends of victims.

Their deeply moving accounts (which often reduce the spell-bound audience to tears) are linked and introduced by these films which present the tragic and all too common narrative of young drivers and passengers killed on our roads.

The story behind four start up businesses and how they are making an impact. Hear from the founders how they developed their ideas, researched the market and obtained the funding to turn their dreams into reality.

If you’ve got a great idea for a business and are looking for help, for guidance or just an idea of where to start, then these four entrepreneurs can give you some answers. With businesses ranging from a high-tech medical science technology firm at the cutting edge to a student start-up funded from online pre orders these businesses cover a wide span of enterprise and yet many of their stories have striking similarities. Hear about the facts of chasing world patents, about testing your ideas, about getting legal advice, funding, recruiting the right management team and even, when to access and partner with other, larger organisations.

Devon, Cornwall, Dorset and Somerset boast some fantastic young business start-ups and they’ve got some great stories to tell. If you’re an established, new or nascent enterprise, you’ll be interested to hear some of the hard-nosed facts and experiences these entrepreneurs are sharing.

In addition to the start-ups show there are also extended interviews with all the founders who appear on the film.
