About Craig
Craig Hookings; Affectionately christened “Mini Craig” by the Mad Dogs crew as we simply have too many Craigs nowadays!
Craig started an apprenticeship with Maddogs Television in September 2018. We first encountered Craig when he joined us for a one week work experience stint in July 2017. He clearly impressed as within that week Craig gained his first Broadcast TV credit as a studio camera operator! Aged 15! It was a locked off wide shot, but he nailed it.
Just over a year later, Craig joined the Maddogs staff ranks as an apprentice. He continued to learn and develop his television production skills each day, and he makes a blinding cup of tea.
Craig has quickly become a vital member of the warehouse team here at The Dog House. Younger and taller than all of us, he will no doubt have a very successful career in the television industry.
Craig’s available now to hire as a Data Wrangler and a Camera Assistant.
Craig has played the drums since he was 8!
