Antony is a Visionary Futurist
& Creative Force
​Antony is a futurist and storyteller with a rare background in both technical and creative fields. He has worked for four years as a UK government futurist and has degrees in Physics, Political Science and Russian.
​
He is an ideas machine specialising in helping organisations uncover game-changing ideas and disrupting short-term conventional thinking with speculative fiction and sci-fi prototyping.
​
Antony is an award-winning communicator and speaker and the recipient of an Amnesty International Award. A serious game he wrote and directed won the Energy Institute Award for Public Engagement. As a cinematographer, his work was long-listed for an Oscar.
He also produced an episode in an Emmy-winning series and directed two award-winning feature-length TV documentaries that are taught in universities today, one about bioethics, the other about the origins of the Ukraine-Russia war.
Rebel Services for rebel thinkers.
We're evolutionarily wired for storytelling. Let Antony transform abstract forecasts and ideas into concrete, discussable concepts using the power of drama and future artefacts.

Organisations are heroes about to hurled into the fast-moving hurricane of the future.
Like any hero, they need a guide.
​
You're the experts in your field. But you're also part of a wider ecosystem. Tech & social trends are pushing formerly siloed fields together at breakneck speed. These demand your immediate attention to stay ahead.
​
Keeping on top of the advances around us can feel like a full-time job. Indeed just summarising them is what most foresight organisations do.
​
Over Antony's time as a futurist advising the UK government, he's come to realise that to really anticipate what might happen, you have to think imaginatively about the broader implications and collisions these big muscle moves in the world have on each other.
​
Antony is ideally suited for this. He is insatiably curious and loves thinking of a future and imagining himself as an entrepreneur in it. He has a diverse background spanning documentary journalism, policymaking, analysing catastrophic risks in investment banking and AI programming. These have have given him a unique ability to see things from many different angles.

Are you prepared?
Unstoppable tech and social trends are fundamentally transforming attitudes, what can be done and the things and services people need to survive and thrive. Will your business anticipate and react to what will come? Or will it slowly lose relevancy and be replaced? What can you do?
​
Antony's approach is to synthesise your insights and knowledge with a curious outside perspective. Then to craft speculative fiction and future artefacts to serve as the basis for more discussion and refinement. Futures is not about the final product, but about changing attitudes internally, iteratively refining ideas and bringing different decision-makers on board.
