What Independent Production Companies does

North Point Productions Limited is an East Midlands, UK-based independent audio and media production company founded in 2009 by Graham Wright and incorporated as a private limited company in April 2011. The firm delivers low-cost radio commercials (priced from £45 for a 10-second advert and £55 for a 30-second commercial), Photomercials (60-second audio/visual productions combining voiceover with still imagery, starting at £250), corporate voiceover services, and corporate media training for radio and TV interviews, the latter added in 2010. Its primary customer segment is small businesses priced out of traditional production houses; secondary segments include corporate clients needing voiceover work and business executives preparing for media interactions.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer, founder-led go-to-market: customers initiate contact through the website or the founder's social media accounts (@RadioGraham on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram), the company writes custom scripts, produces the audio in-house, and delivers finished files via the internet. Payments are processed through PayPal on a secure server, with cheques accepted as an alternative. PRS and MCPS music licences are in place to handle royalty obligations, and the company maintains relationships with community radio stations across Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and Rutland, with placement capability on national stations such as Classic FM and Planet Rock. No proprietary technology platform, mobile app, or API is disclosed; the competitive position rests on price competitiveness, founder experience, and in-house creative execution rather than technology moats.

Operationally, North Point Productions is a micro-cap, founder-centric enterprise with no disclosed employees beyond Graham Wright and a contracted network of creative collaborators. There are no funding rounds, institutional investors, subsidiaries, patents, trademarks, regulatory actions, or M&A activity on record. The company's website copyright stops at 2014, and no verified operational signals post-date that year, leaving the current operating status uncertain.
