Soho post house, Halo Post Production, has now completed the acquisition of fellow London post outfit, Evolutions.
The move comes after a recent injection of third party investment that allowed the deal to take place.
Evolutions completed a pre pack process earlier this year as the UK post sector dealt with the aftermath of the US writers’ and actors’ strikes and the UK commissioning slowdown.
The new deal will bring Evolutions’ “creative talent, technical expertise and facilities” into the Halo group and “represents the first step in building a diverse group of media focused brands.”
Halo’s executive leadership team of John Rogerson and Alan Jones will join forces with Evolutions’ management team and Jonathon Kemp, who will become group CEO.
For Halo, John Rogerson said “This is an exciting coming together of two of London’s best known post companies. With Halo’s brand focused on high-end factual, comedy, drama and film and Evolutions being concentrated on entertainment, factual and reality television; the two businesses will complement each other perfectly. It’s no secret that the post sector has struggled over the last 12 months and in order to survive, consolidation is vital. The economics of providing top-quality post production in central London demands innovation and streamlining. That’s how we will create a vibrant and thriving post sector for the future.”
