After leaving school in his birthplace, the island of Jersey, Guy worked for RCA, in Saint Helier, Jersey on test, installation and maintenance of the TR-series quadruplex broadcast videotape machines and EECO timecode editing systems.  After leaving RCA, he graduated from London University (Chelsea College) in 1978 with a degree in Physics and Electronics, before joining Ewart Television, a London facilities and production company, in the engineering and operations department.

During this time Guy was commissioned to create a six minute architectural promotional video which he storyboarded, scripted and produced.  This video shows a proposed high technology monorail system created using computer graphic imagery (CGI) inserted into live location background footage which he shot with a team in Saudi Arabia.  He used the economical TVIT techniques which he is promoting, consulting, designing and installing in Asian and Middle East countries and uses this as an example of a new age of TV production technology and techniques.  He says “its no good trying to convince people to drop legacy methodologies unless you show you can use the new stuff yourself”. Since making this promo Guy has advised on several other similar projects.

In the years 2001-3 Guy worked on the Digitisation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Ministry of Information TV, News, Sport and Radio Centres in Riyadh, Digital Content Archiving, Content Banking and other TVIT related projects in Asia and the Middle East.
