Leading entertainment, arts and culture agency, Premier, has today announced expansion into the North with new offices in Manchester.
Premier North’s office is based in the new creative hub at Bonded Warehouse, in the heart of the city near the old Granada Studios building. The new branch of the company will work closely with the London head office to service new and current clients and offer on-the-ground support in the North. From its central position in Manchester, Premier North will work with clients across the major cities of Liverpool, Sheffield, Leeds, Bradford and Hull.
Premier’s existing clients in the North include the Manchester Film Festival (10-19 March), Sheffield DocFest (14-19 June) and Nolly producer Quay Street Productions (part of ITV Studios).
Premier North will be led by Elizabeth Taylor, who is based in Manchester. Taylor previously worked with Premier from 2012-2019 and will continue to handle the publicity for Sundance Film Festival: London and work with existing clients across the UK and internationally.
Also based out of Premier North will be Nikki Murray, senior associate director.
John Reiss, founder and executive chairman of Premier, said: “Being born and educated in Yorkshire I have long been aware of the cultural importance of cities outside of London. Entertainment and media in the North of England is some of the most exciting and diverse in the world and we need to be right in amongst it. Our audiences are everywhere and with this further stage in Premier’s expansion, soon we shall be too.”
