Banijay UK Bolsters In-House Postproduction Capabilities

Banijay UK is bolstering its in-house postproduction capabilities with the launch of a new team and facilities in London, the doubling of capacity in Glasgow and the continued investment in Manchester.

Initially focused on unscripted production, the resources are available to all Banijay UK businesses. Banijay UK’s in-house post facilities, labeled B Post, now offer over 25 cutting rooms, four online/grade suites, four audio suites and podcasting studios across the U.K.

Banijay UK Post Production is led by Donna Mulvey-Jones, who was appointed earlier this year as director of postproduction. Mulvey-Jones brings over 20 years of experience to the role and was most recently at Netflix, where she set up and led the nonfiction postproduction teams in Los Angeles and the U.K.

Mulvey-Jones is being supported in London by the head of technical operations, Ben Keable, and senior post producer, Kate George, alongside a growing team.

In Glasgow, Gavin Wilson has been promoted to head of technical operations and is joined by new hires Jenny Bruce as post producer, Rachel Clark as online editor and David Mercer as senior edit support, all from local post house Edit 123.

Banijay UK has existing postproduction operations in Manchester under Workerbee, led by Keren Aarons. Aarons is also now supporting the wider B Post UK operation and working on future expansion and consolidation plans in the region.

“It’s a hugely exciting time for postproduction as AI, cloud editing and other technological advancements drive innovation in the sector,” said Sarb Nijjer, chief operating officer at Banijay UK. “Investing in our capabilities, providing the right tech and the right people and putting post facilities at the heart of Banijay is an important step.”

Mulvey-Jones added, “Post is not a ‘later’ stage anymore, or a bolt-on service—we’re simply part of production. For a production company, bringing capability in-house just makes sense; it gives us control of the foundations and ensures we’re building workflows that are flexible for the future and on our own timelines. We’ll absolutely continue partnering with the fantastic post houses we rely on, but the industry is under pressure, technology is advancing fast and it’s important for us to stay relevant in how we work.”
