Derek is CEO and Co-Founder of Coffee & TV, an independent visual content studio, specialising in creative VFX, animation, design and colour grading.
Since he founded the company in 2012, he has been responsible for the studio’s incredible success, from a start-up to a profitable, multi-million pound business with a diverse roster of clients across commercials and broadcast.

His determination, work-ethic and eye for detail, garnered him a stellar reputation at the highest level.
