“ 10 years ago I was asked to direct a television commercial for Waitrose. I had never directed one before. Along with Ken Hoggins and Jeremy Carr (MCBD) we devised a vehicle for Heston Blumenthal and Delia Smith to engage the nation - creating commercials for Waitrose Lamb, Rhubarb recipes and over sixty others.
We worked to deliver weekly ads to help get the U.K cooking, helping to boost Waitrose sales above £5 billion for the first time ever. They were the best fun to make and pulled together some of the most creative people on the planet.
This is my ten year tribute to Waitrose’s Heston and Delia campaign. Work that launched my commercials directing career and also taught me how to make an Apple Crumble and Raspberry Pavlova like no other. "
