Farm Soho collapses into administration after investment deal falls through

The Farm Soho Limited, a London-based television and film post-production company, has entered administration and ceased operations after a proposed investment deal intended to secure its future fell through, resulting in the loss of all jobs at its Great Marlborough Street facility.

Ben Woodthorpe, Mark Supperstone and Nadeem Sweiss, all of S&W Partners, were appointed joint administrators on 25 September 2026. The appointment follows the closure of the company's Soho facility, which specialised in post-production services for high-end television drama and film.

Farm Soho had reportedly been seeking fresh investment to support its operations and was close to securing a deal, but negotiations collapsed in the weeks leading up to the administration, leaving the business without the funding needed to continue trading.

Farm Soho was established in 2025 following a reorganisation involving Granary Media's Simon Kanjee and David Barrett, who took over operations at Picture Shop's Lexington Street facilities and combined them with the former Grand Central post-production business at 51-53 Great Marlborough Street. The combined operation was subsequently rebranded as Farm Soho.

Earlier this year, the company completed an extensive refurbishment of its Great Marlborough Street premises, reconfiguring and upgrading its production facilities as part of an investment in the business. Its recent credits included Under Salt Marsh for Sky and Young Sherlock for Prime Video.

The collapse comes amid a broader restructuring of the businesses associated with The Farm. The Farm Post Limited, which operated from Newman Street, separately entered administration on 18 September, with the same three practitioners from S&W Partners appointed. However, the Newman Street business has secured investment from Rex Brown Capital and continues to operate. A spokesperson previously described its administration as a necessary step to separate the two businesses.

Unlike its former sister operation, Farm Soho was unable to secure the investment required to continue trading. Its closure brings an end to the recently established post-production business despite the substantial refurbishment of its facilities earlier this year.
