“It has been a pleasure working with Isidore/Wild Duck Productions throughout the entire process of building a new Diocesan website. From the outset they were extremely helpful in working with us to deliver what we needed within a managed budget.

I wouldn’t hesitate in working with them again when the opportunity arises.” James Owen, Head of Communication, The Diocese of Ely

“Tom is the kind of person you need at every large-scale diocesan event, he is a delight to work with and understands implicitly how the Church of England operates.

I hope Tom is someone I’ll have opportunity to work with again in the future – Thank you, Tom.” Sarah Whitelock, Communications Director, The Diocese of Hereford

“We recently ran our first fully hybrid conference in Central London. In the planning, there were regular discussions over whether or not it was worth the extra effort to go fully hybrid, or if we should just go live and release the online content later. We were encouraged to contact Tom at Isidore and were so glad we did. Within a few minutes of talking to Tom, much of our anxiety had gone. Once we agreed that we would go forward with Tom and he started working his magic, the rest of our worries were washed away. Tom was a…

“We worked with Tom and his team to run the first ever fully hybrid Fresh Expressions gathering in March 2022. He worked with us and listened to our aims and outcomes for the event and made insightful and helpful comments which clearly portrayed an understanding of what we were aiming for and who we were. He combined his own resources and those resources at the venue to produce a high quality event which those online and in person enjoyed and got a lot out of. He was fun to work with and we would recommend him …

We…

“When Visual Language Professionals (VLP) first embarked on the idea of an online conference, we had no idea how to create a remote event that allowed delegates and presenters to connect, network and collaborate in a way that felt like we were all in the same room. Tom Pearson from Wild Duck Productions took the time to understand our requirements and create a package of support that complimented the skills we already had and he worked with us to build the conference experience to an incredibly high standard. Tom’s professional focus, support and technical expertise ensured that every detail was…

It was so reassuring to know that Tom was available at the end of the phone or Zoom call to talk through any issues and provide solutions and reassurance. This was all delivered in a friendly and approachable way, with no…

“I am the kind of person who needs an interpreter to help me get the most from the internet, so that we can create websites that truly meet the needs of those we serve as the Church of England. Tom is brilliant at interpreting our vision and needs to developers and others, and then translating back again to us, so that we deliver outstanding products, not just in the development phase, but in the ongoing support that is needed.” The Revd Canon Dr Sandra Millar, Head of Life Events and Welcome for the Archbishops’ Council of the Church of England.

He understands our tasks and offer solutions.” The Revd Dr Robert Evans, Trustee for the BSL Bible Translation Project, and Research Fellow at the University of Chester

“Tom’s skills and expertise were invaluable in helping us set up and deliver a fully hybrid learning community for our Disciple Enablers Network. His advice on the best technical solutions was essential in helping us find the right tools to create a truly integrated experience for participants – this was highlighted in feedback from those attending both on-line and on-site. These insights were more than matched by his ability to host and guide our on-line participants, essential for their positive conference experience. I could add more glowing praise but frankly we will want to use Tom again so I won’t…

I would highly recommend Tom for his work ethic, his experience and expertise.” Fiona Fidgin, Digital Communications Training Officer, The Connexional Team, The Methodist…

“We have worked with Tom on two projects during the last six months [a series of high profile Advent webinars, and a series of large-scale online meetings across Lent]. His expertise and quiet, calm demeanour filled us with confidence which liberated our ‘in house team’ to focus on our guests and the subject matter. Tom provided pre-training which helped us to upskill and become more comfortable with the use of technology and most importantly – not to panic! As a Christian institution it was also really helpful to us that he was familiar and at ease with the Christian faith…

“We worked with Tom to deliver a fully hybrid Diocesan Conference. His planning approach was both relaxed and meticulous! This meant that our own Diocesan team could work alongside Tom in the event planning and delivery. It was an excellent experience. Tom is clearly an expert in his field and his guidance was invaluable. He was happy to bend and shape the offer to our needs which meant that the event was a great success. Also it proved to be a valuable learning and development opportunity. We really enjoyed working him, Tom definitely became ‘one of the team’. We will…

“Tom was an absolute God send for our event at one of our warehouses! During the lead up to the event he checked in regularly, and on the day he set everything up seamlessly, including helping to problem solve an issue with limited power supply.

“Tom took the lead on all things tech/AV/production for the most recent triennial clergy conference for the Diocese of Guildford and he was absolutely integral to the success of the event. It would not have come together as well without his knowledge and expertise, his direction and creativity. With such vast experience, both of events in general and of partnering across the Church of England, Tom completely understood the aims of the conference and gave wise advice as to how best to structure sessions and make good use of technology to engage the audience. We were so…

“We had the absolute pleasure of working with Tom for a recent event showcasing many different elements throughout the course of a day. We couldn’t be happier with the level of service Tom provided, everything ran exceptionally smooth and felt of the highest quality. We were worried about some potential logistical problems on the day with needing a mixture of internal audio visual support and weather-proof AV equipment for external parts of the event, however Tom made sure that everything was in hand, heavily tested and tried ahead of the event. We highly recommend Tom and his services to anyone…
