A huge thank you once again to Sebastien at http://www.phoenixfx.com/ for burning the midnight oil over the last few weeks to completely re-design this website. His dedication to meeting tight deadlines, taking on board our requirements and coming up with his own ideas are second to none. Sebastien has also provided us with his vastly improved content management system to enable us to regularly update this site; it couldn't be simpler to use. We are very impressed and we can't recommend him highly enough.
Feb 06: I am still recovering from a long day and an evening on stage presenting the 2006 Purple Awards Dinner at the Barbican in London, alongside Toyah Wilcox .

Pictures (of me in my dinner jacket) coming soon...
Feb 06: We recently had a fantastic day out in London recording a special edition of Ready Steady Cook.

Click on BigFish Media Photos and then Phil's gallery to see pictures....

We would like to thank Sebastien Rousseau at www.phoenixfx.com for all his hard work over many months designing this site for our new company BigFish Media Ltd.
If you would like to commission Sebastien to build, design, maintain and host a site for you, feel free to get in touch. It costs less than you might think.
Phoenixfx were able to give us all that we wanted from a website - and much more. We have certainly been extremely impressed by our Search Engine rankings - and all without payment for Google adverts.
We would love to know what you think of the site.
Best wishes,
Ricky
