TV Editing Facility To Open In Bristol

BRISTOL, U.K. - June 13, 2013 - PRLog -- Evolutions, one of London’s largest post-production groups, is to open a TV editing facility in Bristol.

The state-of-the-art digital operation will be located on Whiteladies Road in the heart of the city’s media district and will employ at least 20 staff, most of whom will be new recruits.

The facility will cost approximately £1m to fit out and will include 30 picture and sound editing suites plus additional space for TV production offices.

Evolutions managing director Simon Kanjee said: “Having had discussions with our existing independent television production company clients in London - as well as local TV producers in Bristol - we believe there is a significant demand for the scale, speed and quality of post-production service that we can offer. Although we cannot reveal details yet, we already have some very interesting jobs booked in.”

He added: “Bristol is a vibrant and exciting city and, despite the difficult economic climate, the media sector is thriving. By opening a facility in Bristol we believe we can help to grow the local market.”

Keys to the new building were handed over last week and a recruitment drive is currently underway.

It is expected that the new facility will be up and running by July before becoming fully operational in September.
