Wall to Wall CEO Alex Graham has been a leading figure in UK independent television production sector for almost 30 years.
In September 2010 I graduated with a 2:1 in Media Production. In the midst of rising graduate unemployment, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to get a job in television. Little did I know that a year later I would achieve my first TV Credits as ‘Offline Editor’ for a new children’s TV series: Cartoonito Tales.

After my job as an editor at Isis Media came to an end I got a job at Sky and moved to London.
I’ve been working as an Edit Co-ordinator in Compliance for the last 8 months but I’ve just got a promotion to ‘Editorial Compliance Executive’, which is a permanent job. Moving to London was a huge lifestyle change for me but now I’ve settled in I’m loving it and have managed to move up the career ladder pretty quickly. Looks like I’ll be staying down here for a quite while.
