Disclaimer:

Please note that, during the week, you will see work in progress on a lot of film, TV and commercial projects. These are highly confidential and it is important that you respect that by NOT taking photographs anywhere inside the building other than the reception space and that you do not disclose anything you might see to friends and family. I know it can be very tempting to do so but it would violate our contracts with our clients and could lead to legal action against us so please enjoy your special preview of the work but keep it our little secret!!
