About Richard Lightbody

In a school report, an English teacher wrote, ‘Wit is no substitute for wits.’ That was a while back. More recently, a CEO noted that ‘Richard can make the complex, simple, and the simple, complex.’ I accept both jabs. I suspect that under examination, I’d tick a lot of the fashionable labels for dysfunctions. It’s just that I don’t think outside the box, I don’t see the box. If nobody’s irreplaceable, where does the concept of unique come from?

Richard Lightbody Work Experience Details
  • Danish Pilot Service
    Creative Consultant
    Danish Pilot Service Aug 2021 - Present
    Spodsbjerg
    This post has everything because it is everything. DPS is the major independent piloting service safely guiding ships in and out of the Baltic. The main player is a government-backed organization, so it is David versus Goliath - my job in marketing and editorial is to find the stones. A fascinating world that consumes 40% of my mind and brings in 100% of the skills I've acquired over the past half-century.

    Hallelujah Canyon - three con men, well one's an attractive woman, on the run from a con that went horribly wrong, stumble upon a gem of an idea. It's The Truman Show meets The Sting meets One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. It's a travel adventure that goes virtually everywhere, but nowhere and ends with a stinging twist. It was a project that once published went to sleep - I never marketed it. Severely high on my 'ToDo' list along side writing a second book.

    Freelance Commissions
    Various Jun 2017 - Present
    When you have notched up something like 7,450 hours, 35 consecutive invoices and survived five Christmas parties, it seems strange not to mark leaving somewhere as a departure. As a freelance, you dance to different beats. For the time being I’ve decided to shift the tempo to other things. I’m upping my commitment to Danish Pilots at an interesting time in their history, continuing to help out in the kitchens of Kvik and putting time and energy into creating a festival in my adopted hometown of Svendborg. I’ve also a second and a third book in my head that I need to get out. So, goodbye to KOMPAN. It is all change to the schedule with no room, or plans, for a walking stick, a subscription to the Telegraph or learning how to forget things. (At which I’m already reasonably proficient.)
  • Kompan A/S
    Storyteller In Residence
    Kompan A/S Oct 2018 - Aug 2024
    Odense Area, Denmark
    Just a month short of six years of eating in a very splendid canteen, I've put my knife and fork aside at KOMPAN. Aside, but not away. Opportunity-wise there are many things on my creative plate and I needed to free up space to give them a chance. I remain committed to KOMPAN projects, indeed some of which triggered my decision to leave. It is just that, as of August, the fascinating and vital world of playgrounds was no longer my main course.
  • Maersk Training
    Communications Coordinator
    Maersk Training Aug 2006 - Apr 2020
    Svendborg
    Life, like comedy, is about timing. There came a time to put my Maersk years into the memory box, reflect on what was learnt over 13 years, in fact just four days over 5000 days. New challenges beckon with about 70% of my worktime now featuring KOMPAN. The remainder of my time, will be consumed by other projects, some that will have a maritime connection.
  • Seahealth Denmark
    Communications Consultant
    Seahealth Denmark Oct 2013 - Jun 2017
    Copenhagen Area, Denmark
    Seahealth is an organisation based in Copenhagen with the responsiblity for improving the health and well being of mariners worldwide, but focused in particular on those working on over 600 Danish-flagged ships. My role was to contribute to the flow of information through words and video with the goal of making vital information available to those working at sea. I resigned from the organisation when it merged with another body and its structure and outlook changed.
  • Carlton Television
    Producer Director
    Carlton Television Aug 1999 - Sep 2003
    London, United Kingdom
    Brought in to make Bill Bryson's Notes From a Small Island, a six part series which departed from ITV's normal style, I remained to produce a number of series such as the conflict struen Neighbours From Hell, and the Find the Family where the pages of history were peeled back often to reveal surprising results and relations previously unknown. Also produced the 60th birththay tribute to Sir Cliff Richard and the Morse section of the John Thaw tribute.
  • Domaine Television

    Domaine Television Oct 1994 - Sep 1999

    The golden ticket, for eight seasons we produced the best travel programme on British television, Travelog. Shot from a totally free and open stance, it won numerous awards for Channel 4 and was noted for its refreshingly different approach. It launched several young writers, directors and camermen as well as rejuvinated many singers and actors.Bridging between Travelog and the Carlton years, Contributed to a cooking series Upper Crust and during the shooting of the series received a phone call from Bill Bryson which took me to Carlton.
