Bristol video production agency Mendip Media has up-scaled its operations by building a state-of-the-art filming and photography facility.
The investment milestone coincides with its 10th year in business and is part of a project supported by Barclays and the West of England Growth Fund. 
The new 800 sq ft studio in Bedminster will act as a showcase for Mendip Media’s technical know-how with studio facilities and full pre-production and video service for commercial and public sector organisations.
It also includes an extended preparation kitchen, live streaming and edit facilities.
Mendip Media helps businesses produce creative video that sells products and services, creates training modules, records documentaries and shapes TV & online campaigns.
Its clients include Into Somerset, IOP Publishing, Duo and Royal Canin.
Founder Nicky Robertson, pictured, said: “The grand scheme of this partnership is to improve economic growth, jobs and further enhance Bristol’s reputation as a creative and major player across national and global tech cluster networks. We are all so excited as a team and our national clients have pledged full support, which is amazing.”
Barclays Business manager Kevin Hawkins added: “Nicky Robertson really has determination, vision and a well thought out business plan. Barclays are pleased to support customers through the long term. The match funding included tight timescales to secure the premises but by working together, we were able to ensure the deal was completed to meet various deadlines.”
The studio will be officially opened at a high-profile event next month.
The West of England Growth Fund is a scheme funded by the Government’s Regional Growth Fund and managed by the West of England Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP).
