    07 April 2010 - It is with great sadness that we pay tribute to George Gardiner who passed away last Wednesday 31 March 2010.
    George was a highly respected cameraman who worked in the world of sport for many years. He was a true gentleman and such a pleasure to work with. His sunny disposition in all situations made it impossible not to break into a smile just hearing his voice at the end of the phone. George will be greatly missed not only as a colleague but as a great friend to many. As one of our members so succinctly put it "a small man with a great prescence".
    Our thoughts are with his wife, Di and family.

    24 April 2006 - Wednesday 26 April 2006 marks the 20th anniversary of the birth of TOVS!!

    Back in 1986 Irene made her first call for TOVS in her new offices (otherwise known as her spare bedroom) with no computers, no mobile phones, just a landline coupled with paper and a pen. 20 years later with the help of modern technology, TOVS has grown to be the most well known and respected agency in London. Irene is still at the heart of TOVS.

    One of its founding principles is as strong today as it was then: friendliness, efficiency and a great knowledge of the business.

    Congratulations to all the staff, past and present, who have battled their way through new offices, new computers, new technology and new hairstyles to reach this momentous occasion.

    It is a truly tremendous landmark for TOVS, which could not have been achieved without much hard work and commitment from all our wonderful members and clients whose loyalty and continuous effort has been the backing for our ongoing success.

    Thank you for choosing us to look after you.

    A huge thanks to all of you and here’s to twenty more!!
