Meet the Team

Scott Ledbury

Managing Director
Exec. Producer  /  Co-founder

After six years of media college and uni, Scott’s first graduate step on the career ladder was making tea at the BBC. He soon started working on various programmes for BBC1, ITV and Channel 5.

Moving on to a Sutton Coldfield based production company, Scott began climbing the ranks from his first job there as a Video Editor, and then over time became a Director and Live Show-caller on many productions – working with the likes of Ricky Gervais, Cliff Richard, Bruce Forsyth and the legendary Timmy Mallet(!) – whilst also having the pleasure of filming at a range of notable venues, including Abbey Road and 10 Downing Street.

These days, Scott leads Slinky’s video production company strategy and Exec Produces a diverse range of video content at Slinky — and occasionally still makes the tea!
He also hosts Backlight, the Video & Digital Marketing Podcast from Slinky.

In his downtime, Scott enjoys travelling the world riding rollercoasters and is a proud member of the Rollercoaster Club Of Great Britain!

Glen Harris

Producer  /  Director

From the beginning, Glen knew he wanted to be in the film and media industry. After getting his first handicam and free editing software package, the dots connected.

Going on to study Film Production at university for several years, Glen put his practice to the test by working at a local TV station as their cameraman and editor and eventually expanding to a broader range of commercial businesses to produce in-house media content.

After ‘playing the field’ and gaining valuable video experience across many roles (and across the country!) Glen settled into producing and directing regularly, finding a hidden enjoyment in overseeing the whole video production process. Unsurprisingly, this became a new career focus, eventually landing Glen right in the lap of Slinky Productions.

You’ll find Glen at Slinky happily tackling his role, regularly talking to clients, directing on-set and carefully overseeing videos in the editing suite.

Stuart Jacobs-Cook

Motion Graphic Designer

Stu’s journey started in Birmingham with a BTEC in Graphic Design. Following this, he left his home city for three years to study Graphic Design further at the University of Lincoln. This helped solidify his core design and motion graphic skills for the working world — with a sprinkle of Glitch Art on the side.

Yet, the charms of Birmingham were soon missed. He travelled back to his home turf and found work as a freelancing Tech and Motion Graphics Tutor for a local arts centre. After that, he finds himself at the golden gates of Slinky.

As a Motion Graphic Designer, we see him using those well-developed skills well and creating a range of amazing graphics and animations for our superb clients!

Matthew Wild

Production Assistant

Currently studying Media Production at Bournemouth University, Matthew joins Slinky as our Production Assistant intern.

Matthew’s dedication to the world of cinema comes from his childhood during the Harry Potter studio tour, which immersed him in the intricacies of filmmaking from behind the scenes. This eventually inspired him to make his own short films and gain a better understanding of the production process — invaluable experience for the working world. On top of film, Matthew creates his own music and explores the world of video games, helping him gain an even more comprehensive range of creative references from all over the modern media landscape.

We are happy to have Matthew join the Slinky team, bringing his experience and passion. You can find him on set, helping with cameras, equipment, and general assisting duties. He handles the kit and organisation back in the office, some light admin, and the occasional coffee run.
