Production Park Studios Team: Sam Wilkinson, Scott Matthews and Ant Forbes.
PRODUCTION PARK LAUNCH NORTH & SOUTH STUDIOS In January, Production Park merged its two rehearsal studio branches – LS Live and Cato Music, to unite under the Production Park banner to provide world-class production rehearsal spaces.
With studios in London and Wakefield, Production Park offers a service that can cater for all levels of the entertainment industry by providing unbeatable facilities and service from the most helpful team in the business, with the unique location connection between the economic value of the North of England and the convenience of London. Studio 001 boasts an arena-sized space that stands at 80ft tall and is located at Production Park’s HQ in Yorkshire. A facility that is easy to access from all corners of the UK, and is based amongst a cluster of creative manufacturing businesses, including renowned stage construction specialists, Brilliant Stages. Sister studio, The Mill, is conveniently located in London, offering a slightly different proposition in a versatile 4618 sq ft studio suitable for a range of activities, including but not limited to band and full production rehearsals, and film & TV location work. “Studio 001 is one of the largest and most impressive rehearsal facilities in the world and can easily cater for any size production, but we have
noticed that our clients also really appreciate the convenience of having The Mill in South West London as a base where they can service band rehearsals and promo duties before bringing the artists into the full sized production rehearsal in Wakefield” said Ant Forbes, Studio Manager at The Mill. “To help facilitate this symbiotic relationship between the two studios we have been facilitating a passenger transport link between the locations to make our clients lives easier” mused Forbes. Sam Wilkinson of Production Park Studio 001, added: “Over the winter months, we’ve been flat out upgrading and revamping both our studios ready for an exciting new chapter in Production Park’s future. We are proud to merge the Studio teams and feel that our existing reputation of exemplary customer service and technical knowledge is going to make anyone’s rehearsal with us a walk in the (production) park.” TPi www.productionpark.co.uk 22
