Channel 4 has revealed new details for its planned Bristol creative hub which is to open in the autumn as part of its move out of London.

The new Creative Hub in Bristol will be a base for key creative decision makers supporting Channel 4’s relationship with the production sector with a particular focus on supporting genres strongly represented in the South West, Wales and Midlands.

Commissioning departments represented in the new Creative Hub in Bristol will include: Drama, Factual, Factual Entertainment, Formats & Features – as well as Creative Diversity, supporting on and off-screen diversity. It will also have additional supporting operational roles.

Chief executive Alex Mahon said: "We are moving fast and we are on track to open our three new bases in the Nations & Regions this autumn.

"Channel 4 will soon be a very different organisation to the one we have been for the last 36 years.

"There remains much hard work for us to do, but this is part of our strategy to ensure Channel 4 is even more open to new talent and new voices from underserved areas and better reflects the diversity of all of the UK."

The company will reveal the building it is to take in Bristol within the coming weeks.

When implemented, the 4 All the UK strategy will result in more than 300 jobs being created outside London.
