About

I’m Justin Richards, a determined, self-motivated operations and production leader with a background spanning broadcast journalism, science, and media production. I’m currently Chief Operations Officer for Bazooka Bunny Ltd, where I manage and finance film/TV projects and serve as a company director with my business partner, helping drive productions from planning through delivery.

Across my career, I’ve enjoyed turning ideas into real outcomes—whether that meant building a new start-up into an SME valued at over £1 million in just four years, or producing and supporting feature films, commercials, and TV series. I also bring strong writing and editorial skills from my earlier roles, including commissioning and copywriting, script-writing in both short and long form, interviewing, and post-production work with tools like Final Cut and Adobe Premiere.
