Company Pictures is a British television production company which has produced drama programming for many broadcasters.[1] It was set up in 1998 by Charles Pattinson and George Faber, colleagues at BBC Films. Their first film was Morvern Callar, which was credited as a co-production with BBC Films as they had begun developing it while still employed there.[2] In 2003 Company Pictures became part of All3Media.[3]
In 2012, founders Pattinson and Faber left Company Pictures to set up another independent production company,[4] and John Yorke became managing director until 2015.[5] He was succeeded by Michele Buck, former joint managing director of Mammoth Screen.[6]
For both artistic and fiscal reasons, when producing the TV series The White Queen, Company Pictures entered into collaboration with a Flemish production house. This enabled them to film in the medieval cities of Ghent and Bruges, while receiving tax-breaks as a European co-production and for investment in Flanders.[7]
