The editing house, founded in 1999 by Tim Thornton-Allan and John Mayes, announced its closure on Instagram, thanking staff, clients and partners
27 year old editing house Marshall Street Editors has announced it is closing down, citing rent increases, rising costs and a changing business landscape.
The company, which specialised in cutting commercials, pop promos and online content, was founded in 1999 by editors Tim Thornton-Allan and John Mayes.
The pair expanded the roster to a team of 12 editors, based in Soho, and also had a partnership to work on projects with Union Editorial in Austin, New York and LA.
Marshall Street Editors issued a statement on Instagram announcing its closure. You can read it in full below.
Sadly, we have made the difficult decision after 27 years to close Marshall Street Editors.
Despite our best efforts to continue trading, the landscape has changed and along with the rising costs and a 40% rent increase it is no longer viable for the company to operate sustainably. This decision has been incredibly difficult to make and taken only after looking at all options and careful consideration.
A creative company is all about the people who work in it and what an amazing number of people have been part of the Marshall Street family. Thank you all! The pride you brought to your work every day has been incredible and we are forever grateful. The success and reputation of this company was built on your effort, integrity and teamwork. We have almost three decades of the most wonderful memories.
To our clients and partners, thank you for your loyalty, support and the opportunity to work with you. Your trust means everything to us, and it has been an honour to be part of your journey.
Whilst this chapter is coming to a close, the relationships, achievements and memories we have built, will continue. We are proud of what we have all accomplished together.
