our Colloquial Collective story
Content creators Glenn and Lorna met 25 years ago while working on a TV commercial for Next the clothing company. Like Next PLC, they have diversified and expanded their offering which now includes delivering workshops converting abandon red telephone boxes into community assets.
To celebrate the first anniversary of the successful renovation and installation of a life-saving defibrillator within an iconic British piece of street furniture, the K2 telephone box next to Lewisham College, Lorna and Glenn have created a 2.5 hour step-by-step guide on how you can join forces with others in your own communities to turn any disused phone box near you in to a community asset.

GLENN

Glenn's skill is taking you through the filmmaking process from conception to completion with your target audience in mind.
Glenn’s enthusiasm for people, communities and cities is inspired by his childhood dream of becoming the filmmaking version of his favourite artist L.S. Lowry.
He is also driven by his MA in Photography and Urban Cultures, obtained at the Centre for Urban and Community Research in Goldsmiths, University of London in July 2009.
