A specialist media company set up in the north-east last year is expanding its services after a “substantial five-figure” investment.
Inverurie-based Fennel Media has invested in two drones, new filming and editing equipment and developed a creative design studio as part of its growth plans.
The business, part of the Fennel Group owned by local entrepreneur and restaurateur William Bird, has also added two experienced camermen and editors to its team.
The company said it had secured business totalling a six-figure sum since its launch last June, including inspection work, training and induction videos, corporate and promotional films and television commercials.
It is continuing to expand into new market sectors including food and drink, agriculture, forestry, renewables and property across Scotland, with a view towards expansion into the rest of the UK and internationally this year.
Mr Bird said: “While the north-east is continuing to feel the pinch of the downturn, it has been of strategic advantage to us with our cost-effective approach bringing tangible benefits to clients across multiple business sectors.
“Coupled with the additions to the team, the investment in the studio and cutting-edge equipment means we are able to provide clients with an unrivalled level of technical expertise and a service offering which is quite unique in Scotland – something that’s been an important factor in our growth to date.”
The company has also extended its services to offer clients access to audio visual hire and installation through Aberdeen-based AV One Solutions.
