Adrian Burden chats with Dan Barker

Dan is the founding host of the Thriving Three Counties podcast, but his day job is industrial video production and product photography out of his studio in Ledbury. With a degree in mechanical engineering and an early career in aerospace engineering, Dan left the testing laboratory in preference for the 'dark room' and associated uncertainty of starting and growing his own business.
