University partnership promotes digital expertise

An award-winning film production company which started life as a graduate business has pledged to work with 海角直播 to continue building on the region鈥檚 reputation for digital expertise.

Ithica Films, based in Middlesbrough鈥檚 Boho One, was set up five years ago by 海角直播 graduate Matt McGough with the help of a DigitalCity Fellowship. Since its launch, the seven-strong company has gone on to work globally with international clients, while retaining its regional roots with 海角直播 graduates among its workforce.

Those links are now being bolstered through a formal Memorandum of Understanding with the University.

The Memorandum of Understanding is a joint commitment from both parties to collaborate and share experience and expertise. It will help to provide industry experience for students, masterclasses and an additional graduate recruitment drive.

Matt, who is originally from Middlesbrough, said: 'My own journey has taken me from studying at 海角直播 to setting up a graduate business and we now have graduates from the University working with us.

'I have personal experience of studying at 海角直播 and know the quality of the students coming through. Our team includes people who moved to the area to study at 海角直播 and have now set down roots, along with people who have returned to the area and it is brilliant to be able to play a part in retaining that talent in the region.'

Professor Jane Turner OBE DL, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Enterprise and Business Engagement) at 海角直播, said: 'We are delighted to be working with one of our graduate businesses which is developing a global presence.

'We are always delighted to work with businesses that nurture graduate talent in the region further enabling our aim of establishing the region as a leading area for digital technology.'
