Jade Hoffman and Poppy Illsley

Filmmakers, Oscar contenders

Poppy (right) and Jade have been friends since they met 13 years ago at Tiffin Girls School. Having developed an interest in filmmaking at university they got together in the summer of 2013 and started Always the Kraken, or ATK, a company making videos for the likes of TEDxAlbertopolis and London Glider Cider brewery.

Poppy grew up just off Maple Road and Jade spent a lot of time there with her, so they’ve both enjoyed visiting the market over the years. ‘Making our little video to promote the market has been a wonderful experience,’ says Poppy. ‘We are so thrilled to be a part of the team.’
