Plato Video

Plato Video is a family run business, founded in 1960 by Lionel Fynn of Bournemouth under the original title of Action Films, which specialised in capturing weddings, sports events and indeed, anything full of action! By 1970 Action Films changed its name to Plato Tapes and won a number of major contracts for the supply of educational cassette tapes on legal and commercial subjects. When video became more commonplace with the widely accessible VHS and VCR, Plato Tapes became Plato Video. Today in 2015, Plato Video is still run by Lionel and now with his two sons, Charles and Harry. Charles graduated from Bournemouth University in 2008 with a degree in Marketing and then worked until 2012 at national tenpin bowling company, Bowlplex Ltd, as their Marketing Executive. Harry meanwhile studied film production at Winchester University, graduating in 2011 when he then joined Plato Video.
