The company&#8217;s existing management team\u2014comprising Gregory and Christian Wikander, along with current board members Lord Grade, Peter Gerwe and Premila Hoon\u2014will all remain in place. Pinewood Television recently teamed up with Benedict Cumberbatch&#8217;s SunnyMarch TV to produce <em>The Child in Time<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Peter Gerwe, founder of StoryFirst, commented:\u00a0\u201cUnder Helen Gregory\u2019s leadership, after only 18 months of operation, the business is flourishing and is well on its way to being a major player in scripted television drama. Helen and her team will continue to build the company. StoryFirst intends to make additional investments in the growing slate of exciting high-end TV drama projects under the new banner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paul Golding, Pinewood Group\u2019s chairman, added:\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re delighted to have been instrumental in establishing the business and we wish StoryFirst every success in the next stage of the company\u2019s development.
