Member Testimonials
"UK Post is the best thing to happen to this industry in years. It has fostered openness amongst members to tackle overarching issues in a productive, efficient and effective manner. UK Post as a post production body is very well supported by all the key, major players and as a consequence, able to deliver meaningful results that on a micro level we would never have been able to do ourselves." Patrick Holzen, Managing Director, Pepper Post Production
"As a smaller company, being a part of UK Screen means that we have a say in some of the larger issues and we're kept informed of events and developments. Having a strong coherent voice is good for the industry and good for us as well." Grahame Andrew, Managing Director, Lola Post Production
"We were impressed with the way that UK Screen ensured the industry had a voice during the critical UK tax break reviews last year." Simon Constable, Director of Operations, Technicolor Creative Services
"Being a member of UK Post has allowed some of the most frank and rewarding discussions to take place with our competitors in an open but discrete forum. This can only benefit us all by way of presenting a more united front when dealing with clients looking to squeeze budgets further. In an ever tightening market this alone has to be worth the membership fee. The additional benefit of a discounted insurance quote obtained through membership was also most welcome." Paul Mann, Managing Director, Machine Shop Special Effects Limited
"In my time working in the broadcast industry in Scotland I have found the Information, meetings and events organised by UK Post both interesting and informative. UK Post meetings offer an invaluable chance to meet other people connected with the industry and help promote communication and understanding between them." Ranald Neilson, Broadcast Service Manager, Metro Ecosse
"UK Screen provides a sense of community and a place where information can be shared to the benefit of all members." Jo Beighton, Managing Director, Clear Cut Pictures
"Membership of UK Post is an invaluable asset to Aquarium. UK Post provides Aquarium with a channel by which we can lobby effectively on the causes we feel passionate about, and having such an industry body allows Aquarium to be part of a constructive forum with other members of the sector. We can also rely on UK Post to keep us up to date with all developments affecting our commercial interests." Pam Thompson, Director, Aquarium
"UK Screen has broadened its remit to seek to cover all services vital to the UK Film and TV industries. This central point of focus, to gather and represent the views of the services sector has proved to be enormously beneficial." Ivan Dunleavy, Chief Executive, The Pinewood Studios Group
"By its very nature of acting as a conduit between our industry and central government, UK Post, in our eyes, has been a massive success at bringing together what is traditionally a very splintered, and closed door Physical Special Effects community. Only now do we find the major players sitting around a table to discuss what would be positive developments for the good of the industry as a whole, as opposed to on an individual company basis." Jez Clarke, Managing Director, Hothouse IWG
"The knowledge bank shared between us and UK Screen members gives the industry a stronger sense of joined up thinking, for future enhancements to the quality and skill we can all offer the client." Rhys Bevan, Managing Director, Derwen
"Becoming a member of UK Screen has been really useful for us. The meetings are a great opportunity to exchange views with companies similar to us and to discuss a range of issues that affect us in this industry. We're very pleased with the service we've received and find the team really helpful and very well organised." Mike Ransome, Managing Director, Presteigne
"Being a member of UK Post has been of tremendous value to us. Last year we ordered a large piece of equipment which required the use of a crane and therefore the closure of a road to install. Unfortunately planning application to do this was going to take longer than expected. UK Post managed to persuade the council that installation was business critical and they pulled out all the stops to make it happen, therefore saving us time (and money). This is something we could not have achieved without their help." Hector Macloed, Managing Director, Glassworks Post Production
"Being a member of UK Post & Services has benefited us in a number of ways. We regularly use UK Post as a central information point for new legislation, broadcast standards and technology. Any grey areas are investigated and clarified by UK Post saving us time and stress, therefore allowing us to get on with what we do best. On top of this we have benefited financially, by taking advantage of the 7.5% discount on the Harding box." Sara Hill, Post Production Executive, Blue Post Production
