"With over 15 years of experience in the TV production industry, I’ve seen how mobile phones have changed the way we create and share content. They’ve become essential for capturing moments and connecting with others, but they can also create challenges—especially in settings with large audiences. From distracting performers to leaking exclusive content, phones can sometimes cause more headaches than they solve.

While working on an entertainment series for ITV, we encountered a common issue: how to prevent spoilers from being shared online when recording episodes with a live studio audience. Confiscating phones wasn’t a practical option. It would have required extra security, cloakroom facilities, and taking responsibility for hundreds of valuable devices. We needed a better way to manage mobile phone use during events without creating unnecessary complications.

Looking into existing solutions, I found that similar products were available internationally, but many were too expensive or impractical for the budgets of British TV productions. It became clear that there was room for a more affordable and accessible approach tailored to this market.

That’s how Lockabl came to be. We provide straightforward, budget-friendly tools to help TV productions, live events, and performances protect their content without disrupting the audience’s experience.

Our goal is to make things simple and secure, so the focus stays where it should—on the creativity and hard work that go into these events. With Lockabl, you can keep your content safe and ensure your audience has a great time, free from distractions.

It’s about finding the right balance between creativity and technology. With Lockabl, you don’t have to choose between protecting your work and engaging your audience. You can do both, and make every moment count."
