From drones to studio upgrades...Lisburn video production company gears up for growth after securing new investment

A Lisburn-based video production company has plans to expand after receiving funding from the government backed business support service Go Succeed.

Speed Motion Films is accelerating its growth ambitions with investment in its in-house studio and drone equipment using money secured through the Go Succeed grant.

It means the business, set up by Damien Gallagher over a decade ago, can increase capacity and the number of projects it is working on over the coming months as demand for its services continues to increase.

The company which produces social media content for brands and businesses as well as television programmes, features, and adverts for broadcasters including the BBC, CBS and ESPN, also makes high-end video productions for clients such as Belfast Harbour, The National Trust and a range of Northern Ireland councils.

“We have invested heavily in our studio over the past two years, so we can now carry out significantly more work in-house, with a space for commercial video and photography shoots, TV interviews and podcasts, having already been used by major broadcasters including BBC and Bloomberg,” Damien said.

“The Go Succeed grant has allowed us to invest in a new drone and enhance our studio, adding new lighting equipment and black out blinds which dramatically improves the space, quality and effectiveness of our work.”
