About Us...
We go back to 1995...
Monty Funk Productions began in 1997 as a production company and studio facilities for the BBC. After more than 1000 programmes made for BBC Radio 4, Radio 3, Radio 2 and The World Service, Monty Funk progressed into audio trails and early podcasting.
This naturally brought us into the heritage interpretation world, where we began producing interpretation panels and interactive displays for the National Trust among others. This then melded with our technological roots and we began to redesign old telephones into oral history presentation systems, this then led into iOS & Android app development.
Our offering to the heritage interpretation world now includes: graphic design, illustration, photography, interactive map-making, audio production, electronics black-bock design and manufacture and of course app development.
