In just under two weeks, we’ll be announcing the winners of this year’s Collaboration Prize.
Over recent weeks, we’ve been looking at past winners including The Wee Agency and Music Co-OPERAtive Scotland. Now, our focus turns to Screen Facilities Scotland (SFS).
SFS, winners of the competition in 2012, is a collaboration of Scottish-based film, television and commercials facilities companies.
Before joining forces, members felt that many lucrative contracts were being won by businesses based outside Scotland – particularly in the south-east of the UK.
By forming a consortium co-operative, they would be able to pitch for work in a more efficient and cohesive way. In the process, they could increase core business and help to grow the Scottish film, TV and commercials production sector.
They would also become a voice for the industry, pressing the cause for more support and facilities for production companies across the country.
We’ll be looking at a previous winner of the Collaboration Prize each week on CDSblog.co.uk, ahead of our big announcement…
