Construction company 4Wood has struck a deal to open a new base at a forthcoming TV studio in Birmingham.
The Cardiff-based firm, which specialises in building sets for TV and films, has secured space at the new Digbeth Loc. Studios complex, making it one of the first companies to set up shop there.
Digbeth Loc. is currently being created in old warehouses on canalside land in Fazeley Street in a project led by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight and which will soon provide a new home for hit BBC show MasterChef.
4Wood said the move would give it the opportunity to continue expanding its 海角视频 presence by working with customers using the new studios and benefiting from Birmingham's central location to collaborate with productions elsewhere in the Midlands.

Creative director James Thorne added: "As we've expanded it's become clear that producers and art directors value our ability to bring their vision to reality by building sets, almost to completion, in our own workshop and then transporting them to sound stages or locations for the final fit.
"With an ever-growing portfolio of work, it made sense to open a second workshop in the heart of the 海角视频.
"Our growth plan includes training new specialists in the art of set construction, creating local employment opportunities for Digbeth Loc.'s community."
