House Productions, part of BBC Studios, has expanded its operations with the opening of a base in Manchester, to be led by Louise Sutton.<\/p>\n
The production company already has an established presence in the region, with the hit series Sherwood<\/em> filmed in and around Nottingham and Manchester. The new base, House North, will be the home of the company\u2019s productions based out of Northern England and serve as a hub for creative talent from outside of London.<\/p>\n With the opening of the Manchester office, the company plans to push further into the scripted comedy space. It has brought on Sutton in an executive producer role to lead the local base. She joins from Broke & Bones, where she developed season seven of Black Mirror<\/em>.<\/p>\n Sutton will report to company founders Tessa Ross and Juliette Howell and will oversee the drama output in the north. She will also lead the charge on expanding the company\u2019s comedy slate and building up a roster of half-hour dramas and younger skewing shows.<\/p>\n \u201cTessa and Juliette have built an incredible brand at House Productions over the past seven years, and I am so honored to be a part of their wonderful company,\u201d Sutton said. \u201cHouse has a well-deserved reputation as being a great home for talent, and House in Manchester will be our home-from-home in the North.\u201d<\/p>\n Howell and Ross added, \u201cThis is an exciting time for us at House\u2014with an expanding television and film slate, working across the U.K. and internationally, it\u2019s a great moment to announce the wonderful Louise Sutton\u2019s new position, heading up our operations in the North.
