Ref.AO043
Location West London
Asking Price £ 425,000
Established for more than twenty years, this business is one of the leading film and TV prop hire businesses operating exclusively in the niche ‘food shoots’ sector. Ideally located in very well suited premises on the highly prestigious and appropriate Shepperton Studios site – a major UK film and TV facility with 20 stages, this business supplies a wide range of catering equipment – stainless steel, white goods, tables, chairs and appliances etc throughout the UK, but primarily in and around London and for use at Shepperton and its parent company’s Pinewood Studios.

The equipment this business supplies is used primarily behind camera on ‘food shoots’ – working equipment that is actually used behind the scenes to create the food featured in TV and Internet commercials and films. In addition the business supplies equipment which is actually included as set dressing in the film or commercial itself – refrigerators, gas hobs, range cookers, electric ovens, microwaves etc All stock is carefully selected and modified for fast and easy set up on set – gas hobs are converted to run on bottled gas for example, as well as for easy cleaning and maintenance.
