Location
In July 2008, Waddell Media moved to brand new premises
in St.Helen's Business Park, Holywood. The impressive three-storey
building recently won an architectural award and houses large
open-plan production and development areas, executive suites
and conference rooms, together with fully equipped AVID edit
suites and studio, dedicated to in-house production and post-production.
The Business Park is situated just off Holywood’s
busy High Street. Waddell Media has its own parking area,
which can be accessed either directly off High Street or
through the back entrance in Church View (see map).
Holywood, which has won many Best Kept Town awards over
the years, is just 15 minutes drive from Belfast city centre,
with excellent public transport links. It is an attractive,
fashionable town on the shores of Belfast Lough, with many
historic Victorian buildings, specialist shops, high quality
hotels, guesthouses, restaurants and art galleries. In the
19th century, a large number of Belfast’s merchants
and traders built imposing country and coastal retreats in
Holywood and the town proudly retains its rich heritage,
becoming a designated Conservation Area two years ago.
A number of production companies, post-production facilities,
PR companies and advertising agencies are based in and around
Holywood, making it a media hub second only to Belfast. |
