SUMMER 2003

NEW CKUK STUDIO OPENS

CKUK's brand new studio development was opened amid a blaze of media interest on July 3rd by UK broadcasting chief Peter Dale, head of documentaries at Channel 4. The launch was attended by leading figures from the broadcast and multimedia industries and colleagues from the voice-over and acting communities and featured the enthusiastic consumption of much Pimms and Greek food (kindly provided by neighbouring Atlantis Restaurant).

RECENT PROJECTS

The new studio has already been booked wall-to-wall with projects for a range of clients, both for CK’s own work and CKUK’s production work (CK has occasionally been heard to complain that he can’t get a slot in his own studio, but has been told to stop moaning!). Projects have included:
