Nicola Shindler, the former boss of Red Production Co, has launched new ITV Studio’s label, Quay Street Productions.
Named after the former home of Granada Television, the drama production company will be based in central Manchester and focus on producing premium drama for the UK and international market.
“I’ve been making television drama for over 20 years and still get the same thrill to tell amazing stories with incredible characters and work with the best talent,” she said.
“Having the opportunity to start this new chapter in my career with Quay Street Productions is a privilege and immensely exciting. I want to create a friendly, ambitious, and exceptional new company where writers, producers, directors, and actors feel they can bring their best work, see their ideas realised brilliantly and have fun. My partner, ITV Studios, has been incredibly supportive and it’s a joy to embark on this new journey with them.”
Shindler explained that the company would focus on working with the “best, new and critically acclaimed writers in the industry to create modern, innovative, and entertaining programming.”
International distribution for Quay Street Productions will be handled by ITV Studios.
