We are a Birmingham based production company, but we also work with clients across the UK and beyond. As well as making both television and online films, we offer consultancy and training about to how best to work with the media, and advising organisations how to make their own content. We have a number of broadcast clients including Sky News, Sky Sports and the BBC. We are also pioneers in the rapidly expanding field of web TV, providing content for sites such as Independent.co.uk, IdeasForLife.tv, Warwick iCast and the Royal Shakespeare Company.

The team is led by Robin Powell, who has had a long and distinguished career in both regional and network television, including 14 years with ITV. He’s reported from all over the world and regularly works for Sky News and the Politics Show on BBC1. He’s also made award-winning documentaries.

After graduating from Warwick University with a first class degree, and running her own smaller production company based in Coventry, Catherine Allen joined us in June 2010 as a producer.

Ember Regis Limited was established in 2006, as a result of a merger between two established media companies – Ember Productions and Regis Media.

Here’s what Charles Hunter, Head of Blakeway North, says about Robin and his colleagues:

“Robin Powell’s team have proved to be a mainstay of the BBC Politics Show for the East Midlands over the last four years. Robin’s reports feature throughout the series – researched, written and produced with clarity and imagination.”

And this is the view of Jimmy Leach, Editorial Director for Independent.co.uk:

“Robin Powell and his colleagues have been valuable partners as we look to make strides in the digital landscape. Innovators in video content such as they are, they’ve been invaluable in helping us to create engaging, bespoke content. They are experienced enough to know how to produce professional content of the highest order, but agile enough to do so with sometimes complex multi-partner deals.”
