Cheltenham based Squashed Robot has taken on video maker and director Phil Beastall.

He was also the writer and director of the music video for Lewis Capaldi’s number one single Someone You Loved which featured Dr Who actor Peter Capaldi.

“Squashed Robot has been incredibly welcoming and supportive of my transition and I can’t wait to see what content we create over the coming months.”

Chief executive Lex Beckett said: “Phil brings over a decade of creative experience with him that will allow the company to explore new opportunities and partnerships while offering existing clients the same gold standard service.”
