The directors

What the board does

  • Sets direction and signs off the plan and the budget.
  • Approves the accounts and the CIC34 community interest report before they are filed.
  • Holds safeguarding, through a named director who is our Designated Safeguarding Lead.
  • Approves dealings with connected companies, and records them.

Interests we declare

Some directors sit on other boards in the industry. Riz Wadan founded MR Helix Ltd, which supplies camera technology to our units, and Pixeleyed Pictures Ltd. Nina Karwalska is a co-founder and director of Screen Sisters CIC, our partner. Jeremy Braben founded Helicopter Film Services.

We declare those interests. Any dealing with a connected company is at market value or recorded as support in kind. Credits belong to the company and the crew who earned them.

How we are funded

Grants, income from productions and the organisations we work with, and in-kind support such as kit, stock and facility time. It all goes back into free training. No one pays to be listed here, and a test day isn't an endorsement.

Who checks us

  • Companies House. Accounts and the CIC34 report, filed every year.
  • The CIC Regulator. Checks we serve the community the company was set up for.
  • You. Every figure on Outcomes has its source beside it.
