Kev spent most of his career working on the River Thames in a job with 400 years of history behind it. Watermen used to row the passengers to and from tall ships moored up in London and whilst the role has evolved the traditional skills of rope work, boat handling, navigation and knowing the tides are still required. Kev’s passion for the outdoors led to an encounter with one of the best-known adventurers in the UK and Skyrise Productions was born. The following years have included trips all over the world filming adventures, including Sean Conway’s world record speed cycling trip from Europe’s most westerly mainland point in Portugal to the most easterly in Russia.

This is a story about pursuing passion, perseverance and creativity.
