Pact to Merge with TAC

LONDON, December 7: The independent producers trade body
Pact, is merging with the Welsh organization TAC (Teledwyr Annibynnol
Cymru/Welsh Independent Producers).

“This is very good news for the future development of a vibrant
independent sector in Wales,” said Dafydd Rhys, the chairman of TAC, which was
established in 1984 and represents some 70 indie content businesses. “Pact has
excellent resources at its disposal which will benefit television and film
producers in Wales as they evolve and adapt to the fast pace of change in the
sector. The decision to merge with Pact was not taken lightly but it was a
unanimous one by the TAC Council. The decision reflects the evolving needs of
companies in Wales as they grow and exploit new markets in this increasingly
competitive and technology driven marketplace.”
