Chief is a production company with over 25 years of experience. We've got two world-class studios, half a dozen top-end post-suites, and a bunch of brilliant directors. We've won high-profile awards, worked with the best brands around and are the only production company outside London to be recognised as one of Televisual's Top 30 in the UK.
But we're so much more than that....
We are problem solvers, creative collaborators, a one-stop-shop for great rushes and good vibes. A collection of incredibly talented people brought together under one roof to make great things happen and run through brick walls to do it. From our incredible roster of global directors to our production team, studio staff and post-production artists, we firmly believe that you won't find a better bunch of people to help bring your next project to life.
We live for that moment when you turn over on your first shot of the day, all the planning, the work turns to magic in front of the camera, and that time when you watch the first edit and see all the pieces come together.
Started by Colin Offland in a year that began with a one and two nines, Chief has grown into a powerhouse with bases in Manchester, London, and hubs worldwide.
From the early days up to now, Chief has only ever been beholden to one thing - making great work. We're ambitious and love a challenge, working with some of the best agencies around and directly with brilliant brands collaboratively to find solutions, be they budgetary or logistically.
Time and time again, we've found a way to make it happen when others have baulked at the task at hand.
We could take you through our lengthy list of impressive clients, the awards our work has won, or that time we smuggled some rushes out of North Korea on a flight with Dennis Rodman.
We could show you around our 10,000-square-foot studio or play you the England World Cup anthem we recorded with Keith Allen.
We could give you a tour of our post-production suites where you could meet Ian, Jack, Prateek, Paul, Greg, Willem and many others, or we could just have a natter over a brew and trade stories.
Kettles on, biscuits are stocked, so now to the most important question: tea or coffee?
Chief is a company built by every one of its people, past and present, and we're always excited to meet new like-minded people to work with.
