Channel 4 Opens New Creative Hub In Bristol
Channel 4 has officially opened its new Creative Hub in Bristol.
At an event for staff, producers and partners from the region to launch the new offices based in Bristol's Finzels Reach, Channel 4 CEO Alex Mahon said the new base would enable the broadcaster to tap into the deep pools of talent in the South West and Wales.
Mahon said: "Bristol gives Channel 4 an amazing opportunity to tap into the talent and rich and diverse culture that exists in the South West and Wales. By having our people in communities across the UK we’ll be able to better represent the UK, and I believe we will become more creative, distinctive and relevant as a result.
"We're building a first-rate Bristol team led by our brilliant new Factual Commissioning Editor and Head of Hub, Sacha Mirzoeff. And there are great opportunities for our commissioners to grow the world class specialist factual community here in Bristol and Cardiff's thriving drama scene and indie sector on the doorstep."
