A WREXHAM-based corporate video production company is celebrating 25 years of business.

Knew Productions marked the occasion with a party for its film crew last month.

The evening, held at the Grosvenor Pulford Hotel in Rossett, marked 25 years of filming thousands of promotional videos for clients across a variety of industries from manufacturing, construction and pharmaceuticals, through to sport and education.

The company has even recently provided archive footage of Wrexham to be used in Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds’ Welcome to Wrexham’ documentary, which premiered this summer.

Initially set up in 1997, working on music videos, television for BBC and ITV Wales and corporate videos, the company incorporated to become Knew Productions Ltd in 2004.

One of its highlights was in 2009 when it was chosen to produce recruitment videos for The Royal Engineers and The Royal Signals, with one of the videos going on to win Best Corporate Video at the Institute of Videography (IOV) Awards in 2010.

Filming has taken the ‘Knew Crew’ to many locations across the UK and globally, including Italy, Poland, Spain, France, Thailand and Australia.

The team has also worked with numerous well known faces including Sebastian Coe, Andrew Marr, Michael Owen, Rhys Ifans and Sir Lenny Henry.

Commented Richard Knew, founder and managing director at Knew Productions: “Knew Productions has seen a lot of change over the last 25 years, and it has been an exciting journey. Film making has advanced a lot in that time too, and we have adopted the changes as they have been introduced, embracing the digital transformation of the industry.

"Drone footage and animation now regularly feature in our finished product, something that would not have been possible without a huge time and cost attached to it, when we first started out.

“We thought it was important to mark and celebrate our 25 years in business. Our talented freelance camera teams and video editors are a huge part of what has made our journey so enduring and successful.

"As we embrace the next chapter in the Knew story, we look forward to working with our valued clients. We thank them for their continued business and trust.”
