Pepper Post has restructured its senior management team, creating the new posts of head of operations and head of film as part of a fresh drive to win more film business.

The facility has hired Scott Holmgren as its head of operations while appointing operations and productions manager Jethro Harris as Pepper's new head of film in response to a rise in demand for film work at the 47-strong Soho post house.

In the past eight months Pepper has posted films such as On a Clear Day, Greyfriars Bobby, White Noiseand Frozenand is currently working on Snowcakestarring Alan Rickman and Sigourney Weaver. Recent TV work includes dramas Girl in a Café, Fingersmith, To the Ends of the Earthand documentary Hiroshima.

As part of Pepper's expansion plans the facility has acquired two Avid HD Adrenalines connected to a new Unity Lanshare EX to boost HD post-production capacity.

Holmgren joins from Splash Design, a US facility where he ran a 25-strong team of editors, designers and engineers. He will be responsible for Pepper's film and engineering departments and the outfit's editing operations.

Joint managing director Shane Warden told Broadcast: "Scott's managerial experience will give us a solid foundation. We will be working closely to continue our growing international reputation for HD and DI."
