d.breeze Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hello Blue Rooms I am a long time lurker but very infrequent poster, so apologies if this appears to be a n00b posting for the first time just to gleam information from you all. However, I am trying to get hold of Highflyer Productions Ltd and can find nothing but out of date phone numbers or snail-mail addresses. They've done a lot of work with Channel 4, mostly outside broadcasts for horse racing and other various small projects so I was hoping someone (or maybe someones) on here may have worked with them in the past and might know some useful information. The out of date telephone numbers I have found so far are: 01653 658 599020 8781 2790020 8781 2747 So if you find/know these numbers then it's no use unfortunately. If anyone has any other details I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks in advance Blue Roomers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomo2607 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 not sure they still exist. This website...http://www.companies...yer-productionsshows that they havent produced any tax acounts since the end of 2009. The company seems to have been re-purchased in 2010, or at least a change of director.Are you sure there still going and havent gone into recievership?

d.breeze Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Indeed, I found the same info and came to the same conclusion. Channel 4 replied to an enquiry yesterday confirming they were the production company I needed to speak to regarding a specific event and gave me a postal address but had no other details. So C4 still think they exist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 99% sure they're still going, I used to do some work for them, but don't have any newer contact details than already posted. According to Companies House they don't need to submit any accounts until this September anyway. Both John Fairly and Andrew Franklin have been involved for many years (as seen in from 1997). The postal address listed on Companies House is (or was anyway!) accurate, and even if not now, there should be a forwarding set up since they used that address for years. They used to have offices at Teddington Studios, so if you can find a number for their reception you might be able to get some up to date contact details.

d.breeze Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Aah good point, I'll try and find a generic number for the studios. Unless you happen to know one already? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerry davies Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 If you go to the website quoted above and click on the postcode there are 6 companies at that address, three of them Highflyer's, with various details and confirmation that one of them at least posted returns just last October.

Junior8 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Info from Companies House should be recognized as limited - and often treated with caution - as it only records whether a company has complied with the law as regards submission of accounts and information on Directors. The address given in many cases will simply be that of a firm of accountants or solicitors. However letters sent to that address should reach the company. The trading address is quite a different kettle of fish and there is no need to display this at all anywhere if you don't want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance? In the interest of full disclosure; I have managed to trace them by calling Teddington Studios (who's number is easily found on Google) and simply saying "Hello, could you put me through to Highflyer Productions please?" then there was a click and I was through. Thanks for sending me that direct number as a PM though and thanks to other posters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
