Directory
This directory is by no means complete or comprehensive. It is a start. While best efforts have been made to include and accurately reflect the companies and services there are, it may be that there are inaccuracies which will hopefully be highlighted in a way that reinforces the collaborative nature the resource is intended to exist in.
If you provide relevant initiatives and/or training to HETV productions and would like your company to be included within this directory, please email your details and two references (from film or HETV productions) to Pact Communications Assistant, Chloe Holt: chloe@pact.co.uk.
