  Well…the project I am working on with Aston Villa isn’t quite multibillion but it is definitely in the hundreds of thousands mark! For every project we do we have to get funding for it from things like the government or medical research council..this pays for things like staff cost, travell, equipment, resources etc…basically all the things we need to run the project! So the project I am on at the minute has lots of this type of funding!

  We occasionally get multi-million but I’ve never been involved in multi-billion, unless you count the film industry work. The budgets there are absolutely crazy, and so is the pressure of the ticking clock and how much it is all costing every second!

  No, a billion pounds is an incredible amount of money. The ideas that I tested so far are more in the region of £30,000 to £100,000.

  No i haven’t and i’m not sure i would trust myself to be in charge of something that was worth so much.
