Twofour CFO and COO Anthony Hughes will also join Leach and\u00a0MacKenzie\u00a0at South Shore.<\/p>\n<p>Acquired in 2015 by ITV Studios, Twofour has a regional base in Plymouth and a base in Cardiff. ITV Studios will take a minority stake in their new company.<\/p>\n<p>Tim Carter, managing director of MultiStory Media, will take on a newly created role that will place him at the helm of Twofour and MultiStory. Both labels will retain their separate identities and existing teams.<\/p>\n<p>Julian Bellamy, managing director of ITV Studios, said: &#8220;Mel and Andy have been the driving force behind Twofour\u2019s huge success over the last few years and have been behind an array of brilliant shows from the <em>Educating<\/em> series to <em>The Real Marigold Hotel<\/em>. They\u2019re a truly formidable creative partnership and leave the company in rude health with a great senior team in place, and I am looking forward to their next chapter and the immense potential of South Shore.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m delighted that Tim has agreed to lead Twofour and MultiStory into this exciting new era. Tim has taken MultiStory to the next level since he joined in 2018 and his passion and creative vision makes him the ideal choice to build on Mel and Andy\u2019s fantastic legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leach and MacKenzie said: \u201cWe\u2019ve enjoyed every moment of growing Twofour into the brilliant brand that it is today. Now feels like the natural point to hand the company onto a new team and we\u2019re leaving it in great hands. We\u2019re very excited to be working with Julian and ITV Studios again as we embark on our next adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carter added: \u201cOver the past decade, Twofour has created some of the landmark moments in British television. It\u2019s synonymous with creative derring-do and I can\u2019t wait to launch its next chapter with the talented people there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twofour CEO Melanie Leach and CCO Andrew MacKenzie are launching the new production company South Shore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":13452,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[4248,4249,4250,945],"class_list":["post-13450","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-andrew-mackenzie","tag-melanie-leach","tag-south-shore","tag-twofour","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Twofour&#039;s Melanie Leach &amp;
