Channel 4 buys slice of Govan TV company Firecrest
Channel 4 has taken a minority stake in a Glasgow-based production company, helping its creative team boost its range of factual programming across UK broadcasters.
Firecrest Films, based in Govan, was set up by Nicole Kleeman in 2008, initially concentrating on current affairs, and has now extended its reach to cover features, documentary and specialist factual programmes, such as Dispatches and Panorama.
Kleeman, who previously worked at the BBC for ten years, said: “It has been incredibly rewarding getting Firecrest to this stage but it’s now time to take the company to the next level.”
