He has worked three times with Stephen Graham, Joe Gilgun, Rosamund Hanson, Andrew Ellis, Danielle Watson, Chanel Cresswell, Perry Benson, Kriss Dosanjh and Michael Socha and at least four times with Paddy Considine, Vicky McClure, Andrew Shim (who also had cameo roles in Dead Man's Shoes and The Stairwell ), Thomas Turgoose, Jo Hartley and George Newton.

Paul Fraser [a childhood friend] has been Meadows' co-writer and contributor for all of his films except his 'This is England' projects, 'Small Time' and 'Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee' on which Meadows worked with writer's Jack Thorne and Paddy Considine (both of whom have gone on to successfully write and direct their own projects) or Meadows worked alone.

Paul Fraser also helped provided small parts in 'Once Upon a Time in the Midlands' as Bingo Checker, 'A Room for Romeo Brass' as a Physiotherapist and '24 7: Twenty Four Seven' as a Photographer. Although He is not always listed in the credits. He has also worked as Second Unit Director/ Assistant Director for Somers Town.

Many of Meadows films have had original music provided by Nick Hemming of The Leisure Society, Gavin Clark of Clayhill or Italian pianist and composer Ludovico Einaudi. Meadows has worked many times with producer Mark Herbert and Cinematographer Danny Cohen.

Many of Meadows films have been location managed by his former Brother-In-Law Richard Knight and produced or casting directed by his ex-wife Louise Meadows. Meadows has also used his Father Arthur Meadows and Craig and Matt Considine (Paddy Considine's Nephews) in various roles.

All of Meadows films have been either edited or had cinematography by Tank Bullock or Shaun Fields. Bullock and Fields, however, are aliases to refer to Meadows himself, similar to the Coen brothers' use of the name "Roderick Jaynes" (Jaynes refers collectively to the two Coen brothers).
