Not only are the studios creating thousands of highly skilled jobs and injecting millions into the UK economy – but they are also nurturing the next generation of British creative talent through their excellent apprenticeships and trainee programmes. This important work will help ensure that the UK remains the number one destination for filmmaking for generations to come.'
