The Team
Adam Paylor
Adam is a media producer who cut his teeth out on the road as a BBC Video Journalist before venturing out as a freelancer, setting up FILMGUY Ltd in 2020 and joining forces with Ant and Rob in 2022 on producing original content to support events and crisis response exercises.
A skilled storyteller, his portfolio showcases a huge variety of clients and productions, from podcasts through to green screen productions. His creativity, enthusiastic attitude and broad skill set all help to push the bar higher on productions.
Ant Sharman
Ant set up Evocatus when he left the British Army in 2016, combining his experience of designing and delivering some of defence’s most complex, large-scale exercises with his interest in playing games, particularly wargaming. 8 years on, Evocatus has grown and evolved, but at the core is Ant’s passion for using exercises and experiences to support training and decision-making. An enthusiastic builder of networks, in addition to his role across Evocatus, Ant is a Director of the European Simulation and Training Association, Trustee for two UK charities and a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army Reserve.

For 11 years he was the main presenter of BBC South East Today, is an incisive interviewer and passionate communicator, with the ability to assimilate large quantities of complex information quickly, and cut through the jargon to get to the heart of the matter.
Bringing warmth and humour to complex and pressurised situations, Rob is an experienced host and can pass on experience of the Broadcast media industry to help business executives and their staff negotiate tricky interview situations.
