Why Be A Pact Member

 Pact members give one reason to be part of Pact.

 Malcolm Brinkworth, Touch Productions
“There are many advantages, such as exceptional legal and business services, but the one unsung benefit is its negotiation and lobbying skills – look at the terms of trade with broadcasters.”

Michael Hurll, Michael Hurll Television
“Pact business affairs and industrial relations has the answer to everything and is only a phone call away."

 Jan Jung, Screenplay Productions
"If you want to stay abreast with where the industry is moving, join Pact. First hand, first class information."

Bella Lambourne, Endemol UK
“Pact plays an important role in establishing a balance of power between independent producers and broadcasters in a rapidly-changing industry.”

Robin Lyons, Calon
"We joined to try to have some influence over the way things happen – negotiating with broadcasters and political lobbying".

Rebecca O'Brien, Sixteen Films
“My one reason to join Pact would be the access to the Industrial Relations Service.”

 Louise Pedersen, All 3 Media International
“Advice.”

 Elizabeth Radshaw, TVF International
“If there is one key reason to join Pact, it is certainly the benefit of being part of a group that supports companies of all sizes and activity from production, post facilities to interactive media and distribution.”

 André Singer, West Park Pictures
“It can be a lonely business running a small company.  Pact ensures that you are not alone.”

Patrick Uden, Uden Media
"Pact can't armour-plate a production business, but it sure makes you a lot bigger than being on your own."

 Beryl Vertue, Hartswood Films
“One reason to join would be the benefit of the Business Affairs side, who can give an immediate answer when you have a problem.”

Charles Wace, Two Four Group
"Can any ambitious indie really now afford not to have access to the legal service and impartial business affairs provided by Pact at a time of such continuing change?"

Mike Watts, Novel Entertainment
“We are a modestly sized company without a qualified in-house lawyer and Pact has saved us a fortune in legal and industrial relations bills (over the past five years) as well as pointing out a host of potential pitfalls along the way.  It is not exaggerating to say we received legal and business affairs advice worth £10-£15,000 in our first year.”
