Tom Strachan
My experience spans all sorts of programmes and edits. I started out working in Children's Drama, assisting on a number of CBBC shows as well as other high-end shows before getting my first editing credits. As an Editor, I quickly made my way onto a number of long-running and well-known shows and haven't looked back.
​
In 2019, I was awarded the Royal Television Society (North East) Award for Excellence in Editing for my work on CBBC's The Dumping Ground. Since then, I have been nominated a further two times by both the BBC and ITV.
​
When I'm not editing drama, I spend my time editing podcasts and YouTube content for one of the biggest Fantasy NFL Platforms in America. Over the last few years, I've also branched out into Documentary editing as a way to further my storytelling abilities.
