What We Do.
WHY?
The creative industries is the fastest growing sector in the UK economy. Recent figures show that the sector contributed 11% of the UK GDP, is growing twice as fast as any other industry and is larger than UK Life Sciences, Aerospace and Automotive sectors combined. In 2019, the Film + TV and music sub-sectors made up 63% of the total creative industries GDP contribution.
New data from Creative England shows that with the correct level of investment, the creative industries would be able to create 300,000 new jobs and generate an extra £28bn for the economy by 2025, becoming the catalyst for post-pandemic recovery.
The other is a growing skills gap which explains why we invest heavily into tomorrow’s workforce to provide more skilled labour. All of our schemes include a dedicated Film & TV training academy in partnership with nationally recognised educational institutions with qualifications gained within a working studio environment.
WHAT?
Working across the arts, culture, entertainment, heritage, education and hospitality sectors, we bring ideas to life by connecting people and products to create truly unique places.
We enable mixed-use developments with a difference, curating spaces that deliver lifestyle amenity and cultural value to enhance underlying asset value and unlock their potential.
Using our expertise and diverse network we provide solutions for our clients and partners by bringing vision, leadership and experience to projects whilst collaborating with stakeholders at all levels.
HOW?
We masterplan and develop brand new creative neighbourhoods that deliver measurable social and economic benefits, creating better places for all.
