Spanner in The Works

Spanner in the Works is a technology communication consultancy founded by Spencer Kelly, award-winning broadcaster, journalist, and former presenter of the BBC’s flagship tech show Click. With over two decades of global reporting experience—covering everything from AI breakthroughs to ethical tech dilemmas—Spencer created Spanner in the Works to help organisations, leaders, and innovators tell their technology stories with clarity, credibility, and impact.

At its core, Spanner in the Works helps bridge the gap between complex tech and human understanding. Whether you're a startup founder refining your pitch, a global brand preparing for high-stakes interviews, or a broadcaster looking to demystify cutting-edge science, we bring sharp editorial insight, deep technical expertise, and compelling storytelling to the table.

Led by someone with years of hands-on production experience—from interactive 360° documentaries at CERN to live-audience specials at the BBC—Spanner in the Works delivers content and coaching that’s as smart as it is accessible.

Because when it comes to technology, a little clarity can change everything.
