We are beyond proud to unveil our ‘Impact Report 2019 – 2025’, highlighting the impact our team’s hard work has had on the Liverpool City Region during this transformational period in our recent history.
Our Impact Report reveals record growth in our region’s film and TV industry since 2019, with more than 1,600 productions, including The Batman and BAFTA-winning dramas Time and The Responder, investing £150m into the local economy.
The Combined Authority’s £2.8m LCR Production Fund and the development of the LFO-managed The Depot have played a pivotal role in this growth, helping to create more than 5,400 full-time equivalent jobs, supporting local businesses, nurturing the next generation of local talent and transforming Liverpool into a major production hub and the UK’s most filmed city outside of London.
We could not have realised the positive impacts in this report without the support and hard work of our industry partners, stakeholders and beneficiaries. We would particularly like to thank The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, Liverpool City Council, Halton Borough Council, Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council, St Helens Metropolitan Borough Council, Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council, the British Film Institute, Screen Alliance North, Sunbelt Rentals, as well as Paul Scraton of Agency by Agency and Ross Palmer of Kenfolk for bringing the report together.
