bringing our advert to life.<\/p>\n<p>Over the course of\u00a0over a\u00a0week, the production team\u00a0travelled from the quaint surroundings of the <a

screen.<\/p>\n<p>Jon Mowat, Hurricane&#8217;s Managing Director, had this to say: &#8220;The Hurricane team faced an enjoyable challenge on this production.\u00a0 How could we cover the huge range of Sykes locations in just 30 seconds?\u00a0 We set ourselves some ambitious targets and spent a highly enjoyable week on the road.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;High points were chasing the tide down a sandy beach, waiting for the sun to sink over a Devonshire cottage and racing against the British weather to film a classic barbecue scene.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\"
