RunVT is named Best Post-Production House for the first time at the Broadcast Awards, a year before the 30th anniversary of its founding in 1995 by online editor Balvinder Singh Sanghera.
During a tough year for the industry, the company opened a third location in Fitzrovia, as well as a three-storey full post facility in Brighton.
At the same time, RunVT completed high-quality work for the likes of the BBC, Netflix, Prime Video, Warner Bros Discovery, Sky, Channel 5 and more.
The business has doubled its turnover since September 2021, but has stuck to its roots by continuing to push diversity – a priority for founder Sanghera, which has resulted in a company where more than 50% of staff come from diverse backgrounds.
RunVT prides itself on its track record of delivering high-volume, rapid-turnaround series to UK broadcasters without compromising on quality. Its ethos is relationship-driven and process-orientated.
The company won praise from the judges for being “a truly independent post house that is brave enough to grow during difficult times in the industry”, adding that it is “at the forefront of pushing diversity and inclusion, which is so important – now more than ever”.
