Over the last few days, you may have seen on the local news, online and print media that the BAE site in Woodford has been receiving positive press about its potential future use.
Vision+Media have for the last 18 months been looking across the North West for a suitable site that could be developed as a film studio to compliment the current offer in the region for drama and TV production and to meet demand from enquiries to the region from feature film production companies. Woodford came to our attention at the beginning of the year. The site met all of our requirements for a film studio/build space for feature film projects due to its size and location. We were in talks with BAE and Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council during their decommissioning process regarding the possibility of renting the space out from them to house film crews until the site was sold. Last year we ran the first out of London inward mission into the North West for senior LA production company executives, which was a huge success and we have been in talks with these production companies about the site for a number of projects. We hope to continue these discussions with the new owners when the site is finally sold, as it has such potential for part use as a feature film studio.
We hope to update you further in the coming months but until then, watch this space!
