Phil Crawley

Having done a degree in maths and programming in the eighties Phil went to the BBC hoping to find the bright lights of show business. After five years in studios and maintenance he realised Soho was where the bright lights were and spent most of the nineties running engineering in a couple of the larger facilities.

Despite years of being tech supervisor on Big Brother and Fame Academy he found no bright lights and has been running SI projects at Root6 since 2003. He now realises software is where the bright lights always were!
