A little back story….
 

 
 

Film First Security Ltd started with a melding of minds and ideas.  Out with the old and in with the new.  The Film industry is small and some of you reading this will already know us and those that don't can read on. 

Our Team of Directors

Tom Forsyth • Finance director

Tom has been in the film business for over 20 years and since 2007 was in charge of finance and overseeing the day-to-day running of his last company. Tom has also worked on many projects both as a unit manager, site supervisor and operative including The Golden Age, Batman, Harry Potter, Nanny McPhee, Johnny English, Sherlock Holmes, Closed Circuit, Great Expectations, Fantastic Beasts and many more.

Tom felt the need to move on from the old company and take all his experience to build a new company from the ground up with new partners. Taking the best of the old and merging it with the new.
