UK Screen Association

UK Screen Association

The UK Screen Association is a trade body that represents British companies working in the film and television screen industries. The association promotes the commercial interests of companies involved in post-production, audio, visual and special effects, camera, hire of lighting and equipment, DVD, new media, outside broadcast and production studios.

History

In 2004 the Department of Trade and Industry and the UK Film Council provided seed funding to assist in the establishment of a new trade body to represent the UK's post production and special effects sector. This led to the foundation of UK Post (later to be renamed UK Screen Association). It has promoted the post production sector internationally. UK Post made a contribution to the film tax consultation conducted by HM Treasury and Department for Culture Media and Sport. It also engaged with the BBC to access information to enable its member companies to make decisions about the future direction of their businesses.

UK Post's remit expanded in 2006 to provide representation for all companies providing services to the film and broadcast industry in 2006. On 5th September 2006, the association's name was changed to UK Post & Services.

In 2007 the association's board decided that a more radical change of name was necessary to reflect the trade body's broadened remit, its expanded membership and the industry's move towards multi-platform content creation and delivery. The board announced the name had been changed to UK Screen Association on 30th May 2007.
