Screen Yorkshire has announced that it is entering a consultation process with a number of staff regarding the future of their posts as part of an ongoing review of the future of the organisation.
Like many publicly funded organisations, Screen Yorkshire has reported that it is facing difficult times as the Government's public funding cuts take hold. The regional screen agency, which works to support and promote the film, television, games and interactive media sectors in Yorkshire and Humber, has a number of ongoing contracts that it will continue to deliver over the next twelve months and it is also pursuing a number of other opportunities for the future.
Sally Joynson, Chief Executive of Screen Yorkshire says:
"We are facing challenging times and reviewing the staffing of the organisation to ensure future stability and support for the region's industry is a prudent move. Screen Yorkshire is looking at a number of options for the future, including a restructure of the organisation to reflect changing market conditions.
It has been an incredibly busy period for Screen Yorkshire, with the team continuing to work tirelessly behind the scenes to build a global reputation for the region’s film, television, games and interactive media industries. The team handles over 500 filming enquiries every year from across the world, supporting an incredibly diverse range of productions in Yorkshire, from the award winning King’s Speech to the critically acclaimed This is England ’86."
