 The accident of finding something useful without looking for it 

Thank goodness you've found us!

 

The thing about Serendipity is that you probably didn't know that you needed us. But we are confident that we will convince you otherwise and what's more, you will wonder how you ever managed without us: television content development, production, sales & distribution, audio production and publishing, graphic design, still photography and broadcast media consultancy - all under one roof - right here. And can we fit our services to your budget? Let’s start with "yes we can" and work forward from there!


Yes. Thank goodness you've found us. So, go ahead, have a look around, then let's get together for a cup of tea. Our place or yours?


About Us & Our People

We dare to be different so that you can stand out from the crowd…
We are about doing things differently. After all, you can't do the same thing and expect different results! We make a habit of breaking the mould just so that you can be sure to get exactly what you need - nothing more, nothing less.

We are about using the best people for the job. Flexibility is key. Decades of combined experience in the production, creative and entertainment arenas mean that all our people, without exception, have exceptional talent and passion for every single thing they produce or provide.

We are about delivering quality. Using the best equipment and capitalising on as much experience as we can, pushing the creative and technological envelopes sees our productions and services at the cutting edge of the industry, acclaimed by peers and clients alike, and future proofed too.

We are about delivering on budget, on time. We are only as strong as our weakest link. Every proposal we make is "stress tested" to check for worst case scenarios and "what ifs". If we do use suppliers or third parties, they are pre-vetted for reliability and their credibility and track record has been proven to us.

Finally, we are about the long term. We want you to come back for more. And when you do, we will be waiting.
