Career High: I have had various career highs for various reasons, however I would say my favourite so far is working on a crime series in Leeds. I’m obsessed with True Crime and Crime Dramas and Virdee involved alot of technical kit, tank work, fire safety, stunts, heavy crowd/action days, which required lots of logistical planning along with managing multiple units.
