What Splice does

Splice Post Ltd is an independent, founder-owned post-production company headquartered in Shoreditch, London, founded in 2002 by Duncan Western and a co-director. The company operates approximately 70 suites across three London facilities (Shoreditch, Old Street, Nile Street) and a Cardiff branch, employing 51-100 staff. Splice provides a full-service post-production pipeline for film and television — offline editing, online editing, sound design and mixing (stereo and 5.1), colour grading on Filmlight Baselight with 4K HDR monitoring, VFX, and DATACINE/encoding — built on industry-standard tools including Avid Media Composer, DaVinci Resolve Studio, Pro Tools HD, Boris FX, Mocha Pro, and iZotope RX. The company has developed three proprietary platforms: SpliceCreate (secure remote offline editorial in hardware/software configurations), SpliceCast (secure remote viewing), and SpliceConnect (review, annotation, and asset management), which together enable hybrid on-premise/remote workflows.

Splice serves B2B clients across UK public service broadcasters (BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Sky, Channel 5), global streamers (notably Netflix on series including 'Adolescence' and 'Maradona in Mexico'), and independent production companies. Revenue is generated through project-based professional services contracts with per-project negotiated pricing — no public pricing or revenue disclosure exists. The company holds TPN Gold Shield Status, FACT accreditation, CDSA approval, and Dolby Vision certification, qualifying it for major studio and global streamer deliveries. Notable recognitions include 4th place in Broadcast Tech's Top 10 Post Houses (2019), Televisual Top 50 Facilities (12th, 2018), 3rd in Televisual TV Producer's Poll (2018), RTS Craft & Design Award for picture enhancement, Broadcast Tech Innovation Award, and Emmy nominations for sound on Netflix's 'Adolescence' (2024). The company is albert-affiliated (BAFTA sustainability scheme) and operates on 100% UK renewable energy. Go-to-market is sales-led and reputation-driven, with no external institutional investment, funding rounds, or M&A activity disclosed.
