The acquisition reunites two facilities that were previously sister companies, as Picture Shop Bristol rebrands to Home Post Production, Bristol
Home Post Production has acquired Picture Shop Bristol from Streamland Media.
The acquisition reunites two companies who, until October last year, were previously sister companies.
In October 2025, Picture Shop Manchester became Home Post Production, after being acquired by Northstar Broadcast Services from Streamland Media.
Now the two companies will once more share the same name and ownership, as Picture Shop Bristol will rebrand to Home Post Production, Bristol.
The Bristol facility will continue to operate from its Grade II listed Edgecumbe Hall in the heart of Clifton. It’s been based there since 2018 when it was created by then owners The Farm Group, who, at the time, badged the building Farmton Abbey.
The Farm Group also created what is now Home Post Production, Manchester, having set up the office as The Farm Manchester back in 2017.
The Farm Group was purchased by Streamland Media in 2019, and a few years later was rebranded Picture Shop by Streamland Media.
All 30 creative, technical, and production employees at Picture Shop Bristol are being retained as part of the acquisition.
Following the acquisition, Streamland Media still has some Picture Shop presence in the UK through its Dailies and Managed Service Contract divisions.
The senior leadership team of Lauren Ellis Jones, MD (pictured above right), James Bennett, director of technical operations (pictured above middle), and Tana Beynon, sales director (pictured above left), will continue to lead the Bristol operation and drive its next phase of growth.
The acquisition of Picture Shop Bristol from Streamland Media was led by Home Post Production’s parent company, Northstar Broadcast Services. Chief executive David Jackson will oversee Home’s strategic development across the UK within the Northstar portfolio.
The Bristol facility specialises in unscripted and natural history and its facilities include Avid Media Composer for inhouse and remote offline editing; multipurpose DaVinci Resolve or Avid Symphony online suites; Digital Vision Nucoda grading suites; and Pro Tools audio suites including one fully Dolby Atmos, offering voiceover, tracklay, and mastering services. All finishing suites are equipped with 4K HDR monitoring.
Picture Shop Bristol’s recent credits include Our Oceans (Netflix), Underdogs (Nat Geo/Disney), The Dog House (Channel 4), George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces (Channel 4) and Moominvalley (Sky Kids).
“Our strategy is to build a genuinely regional post-production network that reflects where great programmes are made, and to deliver premium work through trusted, long-term relationship with our clients,” said David Jackson, chief executive, Northstar Broadcast Services. “Bristol has one of the UK’s most vibrant factual and natural history sectors, and Picture Shop Bristol has built an outstanding reputation within it. Bringing the businesses together strengthens what Home Post Production can offer to production companies across the country.”
“From day one, this business has been about people,” adds Lauren Ellis Jones, MD of Home Post Production, Bristol. “Our reputation has been built on the talent, generosity, and sheer craft of our team, and we’re incredibly proud of our long-standing client relationships.
“Joining Home is a natural next step: not a change in who we are, but a strengthening of what we’ve already created together. It gives us greater support and opportunity to grow, while protecting the collaborative, creatively ambitious culture that makes this place special.”
