Media firm launches Made in Yorkshire
mardi, 31 mars 2009
The Made in Group has crossed the Pennines to found Made in Yorkshire, in a boost to media in Yorkshire and the Humber.
Presently, the Made in Group has its base in Manchester and specialises in TV and radio production, PR and marketing.
The company has made documentaries for BBC radio, for both its speech and music channels including Radio 2 and Radio 4.
Now it has expanded into Yorkshire with a second branch.
Made in Yorkshire Productions is the brainchild of former Leeds international swimmer James Hickman and ex-Yorkshire newspaper journalist and radio broadcaster Ashley Byrne.
Mr Byrne commented: "Our first Made in Yorkshire production will air in the summer.
"I can't say too much about it at this point but it will involve Yorkshire talent and will be recorded on location in Yorkshire."
The media company in its first year won a nomination for a Royal Television Society Award, for its Cartoon Kings documentary, shown on ITV1.
