24-7 Drama Gets a Slice of the Action

Camera rental specialist 24-7 Drama (part of the Visual Impact Group) has opened a branch in The Pie Factory, a recently built facility which is part of the new MediaCity:UK located in Manchester’s waterfront area. “To fully support our growing client base in this area, we felt it was important to have a local branch in the heart of the film and TV production community “said Matt Turnbull Hire Manger.

Since the announcement by the BBC to move 5 departments to Manchester and increased funding by local government, many top London based indies have opened regional offices there. This has helped local film and TV production in the area to increase by 37% year on year.

The new 24-7 Drama hire facility is housed in 2,500 sq ft and contains test rooms where clients can try-out different combinations of equipment and accessories.

This branch is part of Visual Impact’s continuing policy of providing local support whenever possible. It will enable customers in Manchester to benefit from specialist broadcast products, services and expertise on their doorstep.
