  • Originally from Swansea I moved to London in my early 20’s and worked many years as an aerobics instructor as well as attending auditions for acting and dance. I fell into presenting at 30 years of age and worked full time until I came back to Swansea just before I hit 40. Now I’m a Mum to a little one and passionate about rekindling my acting career, in my spare time I’m still passionate about fitness but these days I love Yoga whenever I get the chance or hiking in the beautiful countryside we are blessed with in South Wales.

  • Mola is primarily a successful businessman and keep fit body builder. A big fan of Manchester United, his earliest ambition was to be a professional footballer. He was signed to Llanelli AFC but ironically admits that training and fitness side of that career choice wasn't for him. His mother brought him into the retail trade and he didn't let her down. He is a admirer of Jazzy B and Salman Khan which prompted his move into acting under the guidance of drama coach Peter Wooldridge. His feature film debut was in the Bollywood movie, 'Umeed'.

  • After producing stage shows for the past 10 years I knew it was time to adapt and venture out into a different but achievable genre. The advances in video technology have made movie making much more affordable by those 'outside' the mainstream movie business. Producing 'The Bench' has been an education and delight. I feel we have created a little gem.
