From the administrators' statement
The Company is a television, film and media post-production business operating from 58-60 Newman Street, London, W1T 3EE. The business traces its origins to the well-known The Farm production brand, which was established in 1988 and became one of the UK's leading providers of television and film post-production services. Over time, the wider Farm Group expanded across multiple UK locations and developed a reputation for delivering picture finishing, colour grading, sound design, audio mixing and other creative post-production services for a broad range of high-profile television, film and streaming productions.
The Company was incorporated on 4 July 2024 and operates within the motion picture, television and video post-production sector. Simon Kanjee and David Barrett were appointed as directors on 30 January 2025. The Company's ultimate parent undertaking is Granary Media. In early 2025, Granary Media, under the control of Simon Kanjee and David Barrett, acquired certain London and Cardiff post-production operations from Streamland Media. As part of that transaction, the rights to the historic The Farm brand were acquired, and the parties announced their intention to reintroduce the brand within the UK post-production market.
Funding was provided to support the acquisition and trading operations of the business, and, on 4 February 2025, the Company granted a debenture in favour of HUK 152 over its assets. In June 2025, the post-production operations previously operating as Streamland Media's Picture Shop business were formally integrated into a unified operation under the Farm Post name. The objective was to create a single market-facing brand combining long-form picture and sound post-production expertise with the established heritage and industry recognition associated with The Farm name. At that time, the business operated advanced picture and sound finishing facilities, including Dolby Atmos theatrical mixing suites, HDR grading facilities and online finishing capabilities.
