The appointment is further demonstration of Molinare's commitment to being the premium facility for feature film post-production in London, following on from the opening of its Dolby Atmos 4K HDR Theatre earlier this year.

Commenting on the appointment, Nigel Bennett, CEO, Molinare, said: "We have made great strides over the last year in ensuring Molinare is the number one facility for high-end and feature productions in the UK. This means not only investing in our kit and facilities, but the most important thing, our talent. Richard's appointment is a key part of this process, and we are excited to see his unique flair incorporated into the already outstanding roster of talent we have in the mixing team. He brings an abundance of passion and expertise to the role, two of the Molinare values that form the pillars of our facility, making him a natural addition to the team."

Pryke added: "Molinare's outstanding reputation precedes itself; the people, the facility and the location are all fantastic. After working here as a freelancer in the summer, I am extremely excited to join the team on a permanent basis. As a team player who enjoys working with the various members of an audio department, I am highly anticipating continuing to work with the talented creative audio team here at Molinare, on more exciting upcoming projects, after our experience together during my time as a freelancer."
