Third Way Productions was founded by Timothy Muller and Iain Hollingshead in June 2007.

Timothy Muller is a journalist on the BBC World Service. During a year at the Trinity College of Music, he was Musical Director of Into The Woods (Sondheim), arranging the score for a small band and leading rehearsals. His interest in musical theatre has also led him to play in many pit bands over the past few years.

Timothy went on to study English literature at Oxford where he played in, managed and subsequently conducted the Oxford University Jazz Orchestra. The band won the BBC Big Band of the Year competition.

Iain Hollingshead is a freelance journalist and novelist. His first novel - Twenty Something - was published in May 2006, spent six weeks in the top ten of the small publishers' chart and was one of the Independent's "fifty best holiday books" for the summer. His second novel will be appearing in 2008. Iain writes feature articles for a range of publications, The Daily Telegraph in particular. Until recently, he wrote a regular column called Loose Ends in Saturday's Guardian. He also writes spin-off books for the BBC's spy series, Spooks.

Iain graduated from Cambridge University in 2003 with a first class degree in History. He worked for a year in Westminster - at Vote 2004 and in parliament.
