Audio studio Formosa Bateman is completely restructuring its London operations.

Key staff are reported to have left, including the managing director, Helen Alexander and high profile senior re-recording mixers, Mike Prestwood-Smith and Howard Bargroff.

This change impacts both the St Anne’s Court operation (formerly Trident Studios) and Bateman Street which had undergone a complete re-furbishment, which launched at the end of last year.

Located in the heart of Soho, the two Formosa Bateman facilities are part of Formosa Group’s international stable of audio studios.

US-based the Formosa Group’s UK operation brought together sound design, editorial and re-recording, with a Dolby Atmos Theatrical facility and Home Entertainment mastering within boutique creative spaces.

Recent high profile credits include Rivals, Beetlejuice, Beetlehuice, Bad Sisters S2 and Civil War

The company is reported to be looking at dry hire ADR and audio for gaming at the time of posting.

This story follows a tumultuous week for Soho post including the shuttering of Wave Studios, Halo Group and Evolutions and with several other post houses being reported to be in administration, though we will not report until this has been confirmed.
