Gleowit is derived from Anglo Saxon meaning 'With Fun and Joy'
We are a new company but Heather and Keith Leech who founded it have, for 40 years, mounted joyous community celebrations such as Hastings Traditional Jack in the Green and Hastings Bonfire Celebration and which transform the town of Hastings, drawing in thousands of participants and tens of thousands as audience. Our new company brings our skills and experience in community celebration together with our expertise in theatre, film and puppetry. As we look for the links between people, we often find that in our shared past and have specialised in our cultural heritage.

Another excellent, productive and thoroughly enjoyable photosession.
I had some very specific images to capture with Keith and Heather . They created them to perfection. They were both excellent at following instructions, gave some very helpful feedback during the shoot and helped to create some fantastic images with their natural modelling and acting skill sets.
Almost more impressive than anything was the diversity of the photos they were able to capture, from jovial to joyful to stern to intensely emotional.
I very highly recommend them for a very wide variety of modelling and acting needs. Their skills and professionalism are sky high.
Once again, thank you so much for taking the time to come all this way. I am so impressed with how apparently effortlessly you have created a series of quite superb images.
