Halo Post Production has made six support staff roles
redundant. Managing director John Rogerson said the decision was made for financial reasons. “We were overstaffed in some areas. It's sad to see good people leave, but it is just simple economics. We have closed this year's books, which saw a 300% growth on the year before and we had over-recruited during our busiest periods.” Previously, Halo employed 26 people.
Former TSI Transmission managing director Mike Severyn has joined The Digital Media Centre in Amsterdam as head of broadcast operations.
