Red Productions moves to MediaCityUK
THE Manchester TV production business behind dramas such as Clocking Off and Queer As Folk has moved to MediaCityUK.
Red Production is swapping its base at ITV Granada’s old headquarters in Quay Street, Manchester for 4,800 sq ft at the Dock 10 production hub.
The move follows ITV’s relocation to MediaCityUK earlier this year to make way for a wholesale redevelopment of the site.
The BAFTA-award winning Red was set up by Nicola Shindler who said: “The move to MediaCityUK gives us the additional space and facilities to meet our ambition to produce even more of the UK’s best loved programmes.”
Red is producing a new drama called Ordinary Lies for the BBC, Prey for ITV and The Last Witch for SKY Living, as well as a second series of Sally Wainwright’s BAFTA-winning Last Tango in Halifax and her new drama Happy Valley for BBC One. ITV also recently announced it has commissioned a fourth series of hit crime drama Scott and Bailey.
Mark Senior, chief executive at Dock 10, said: “The Hub offers independent production companies a great creative space with a broad range of studio, post production, cloud content management and technical support services literally on the doorstep. We also believe that the production hub will be a place of creative collaboration where new ideas can be nurtured and developed.”
