Broadcast and production rental specialist Video Europe has opened a new location in Cardiff. The Welsh capital has long been an important centre for media, and it continues to thrive with major studios and production companies active in the region, not least in prestige drama.
Video Europe is now 50 years old, established in 1973 to fill a strong market need for high quality equipment in the movie and broadcast sectors. The new facility in Cardiff supports the growing industry in Wales and the West by providing direct and rapid access to all the latest equipment.
“The industry in Wales, and just over the Severn Bridge in Bristol, is full of creative talent and dynamic energy,” said Matt Marner, director of Video Europe. “We are holding a large inventory in our new Cardiff base so we can respond to customer demands quickly, with full support and of course the benefit of a lower carbon footprint by removing the need to drive kit down the M4. This is an expansion that we are very excited about.”
Video Europe Cardiff will be managed by Tom McNally, who has over 20 years of experience in the rental industry. Callum Barrand joins the team as bookings coordinator.
“We have become the largest in the business because we provide the support that our customers demand,” Marner continued. “Our thanks go to all those customers who regularly turn to Video Europe, and we look forward to serving them from our new Cardiff facility.”
