When the amazing team at Food Lover’s Market agreed to come on board as our title and pantry sponsors for the show, they said they’d like to send someone along for the ride (and to keep an eye on things). Of course we wondered whether or not they’d be a stick in the mud, how would they get on with the rest of the crew? Well, Anton is here under ‘crew’ because he got properly stuck in and he’s one of us. No airs and graces, no fancy pants, he’s just not that kind of guy. He probably knew better than any of us how to assemble our complicated wooden cooking station by the time we were done shooting, because he spent hours helping everyone assemble and disassemble it every day. He’s humble and good and kind and smart and we couldn’t have had a better road trip companion, thanks Ant!

Anton has been with Hamilton’s Advertising for 12 years, and during that time has worked on the Food Lover’s team and helped craft it into what it is today – a well loved and respected South African family brand.

“I loved everything about this trip. As someone who has never seen first hand what goes into a production like this I was amazed at how much work is involved! It was great to be part of a really wonderful team of people and also to visit such incredibly beautiful places. So grateful for the awesome experience and the many fond memories.” Anton
