“I’m very much looking forward to joining the team at Machine,” says Cobbold. “I’m excited to get stuck into some amazing work here, hopefully adding to their impressive awards haul.”
“We’re really excited to have James on board for the next stage of the studio in our box fresh expanded space,” says Creative Director and Sound Designer Alex Bingham. “With cool projects on the horizon this year we’ll be making full use of his excellent sound and music skills. Having a man of his talents onboard is going to be great, I’m sure James will be a good fit into the ever-growing machine family”
Head of Production Louise Baker says: “Expansion at our London studios echoes the steady growth of our team.

With lots more in the pipeline for Machine both in London and across the pond, our brand spanking new space is the perfect place to welcome old and new clients alike.”
