TALKING SHOP: Stuart Mullin and Jamie Munro, co-founders of UK production incubator Greenbird, discuss their latest investments, the frenzy of industry-wide M&A activity and the growing debate about rights.
Mullin, formerly finance chief at Argonon, and Munro, the one-time joint MD of Shine TV, got together to launch Greenbird two years ago and have so far invested in seven companies.
The pair discuss their strategy, how it contrasts to the wave of multimillion-dollar deals that have swept across the industry of late, plus Channel 4’s entry into the market and the growing UK debate about programme rights in the face of mega-mergers, such as the combination of Shine and Endemol.
