About us
For 9 years I went to bed with a lot on my mind. I had The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Marley, The Who and thousands more musical treasures, across millions of items, with me as the chief keyholder.
There’s a LOT to learn about archives. Having a background in recording studios and digital media didn’t quite prepare me for the culture shock. But it was clear what was needed and it wasn’t more locks.
People need to be interested. No-one needs to fund a museum that has no visitors.

Create wealth. Be organised. Stay Relevant.

Legacy isn’t stored in vaults or museums. It’s in the products you make, the idea of you, and the connection to other peoples interests
Our area of specialism is to put collection owners in front of opportunity by solving questions like:
How can I create inspiration from legacy
What combination of objects, media and memory can be put in front of creatives
How do we do this quickly, safely and to scale
Who are the best storytellers for us and what access do they need
This is the work. We bring talent and the right partners who share an obsession to make legacy better on their watch. From making brilliant things people need to own or experience, all the way to safeguarding physical and digital treasures.
Let’s celebrate what matters
Create wealth. Be organised. Stay Relevant.

A few professional highlights
Helped the music industry move from analogue to digital workflows for creatives globally.
Routinely referred to as an ‘expert’ on artists as diverse as The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Amy Winehouse, Nirvana, Bob Marley, Pink Floyd…..and I do love all those artists, and I am certainly obsessive about many topics, but the magic trick was I built systems and processes that tracked the creative journey as much as the media made. No legacy should be the burden of one person’s institutional memory. I loved working with teams to build memory into our work.
Moved the iconic EMI Hayes archives without losing or breaking a single thing. In Lockdown. Inventory count was in the millions.
Modernised and upgraded archive facilities for The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Who.
