From the administrators' statement
Granary Media was incorporated on 9 December 2024 and operated as the holding company of a group carrying on television, film and media post-production activities from premises at 58-60 Newman Street, London, WIT 3EE. The wider business traced its origins to the well-known The Farm production brand, established in 1998, which became one of the UK's leading providers of television and film post-production services. Following the acquisition of certain London and Cardiff post-production operations from Streamland Media in early 2025, the Group sought to re-establish the Farm brand within the UK post-production market. Simon Kanjee and David Barrett were appointed as directors on 30 January 2025.
Although most of the trading activities were undertaken by subsidiary companies within the Group, a significant proportion of the Group's assets were held by Granary Media. As a result, the Company occupied a central role within the Group structure and the preservation and realisation of value within the wider business was heavily dependent upon the assets owned by the Company.
Funding was provided to support the acquisition and ongoing operations of the Group. Security was granted in favour of the Group's funder, which was subsequently assigned to RBIH on 2 June 2026. The Company's principal liabilities consisted of obligations owed to the secured creditor under cross-company funding arrangements together with substantial intercompany balances due from other Group entities.
