Middlesbrough takes centre stage following local film company's expansion

The North East film company’s new hires and new work space is hoped to increase the “creative capabilities” of the firm.

Ithica Films specialises in creating films and documentaries for brands and has welcomed six new recruits to its filmmaking, operations and management team.

The recruitment drive follows Ithica’s move to new premises on Marsh Street in April 2021, which saw it expand its base to six times the size of its previous home.

The 8,000 sq ft space is being renovated to include ten editing suites, a studio, production offices and a creative suite, plus high-speed digital infrastructure, soundproofing and cinematography equipment.

Matt McGough, managing director of Ithica, said: “I’m so pleased to welcome a mix of experience and new talent to the Ithica team with these six outstanding people. Their fantastic skills and passion for filmmaking will help us provide even bigger and better films for our clients.

“We’ve settled into our new studio really well and are excited about the opportunities the extra space and facilities give us to work with clients across the world. It’s opened up a lot of new ways of developing the company further and increasing our creative capabilities.”

So far this year, Ithica has delivered projects for OSBIT, Centre for Life, Clipper and Great North Air Ambulance.
