The Mob's senior producer Mark Collins is now the film company's head of production and a director in the business, which has moved to a new base in Manchester.

Collins's new role coincides with The Mob moving to new premises in Manchester, a purpose designed production office and separate offline editing facility in the northern quarter.

The move comes a little more than a year since the production company relocated its northern base from Leeds to the Triangle in Manchester.

John Brocklehurst, The Mob's managing director, said: “Mark is a great asset to The Mob and we are delighted that he is going to become a director of the company.

“We are developing our northern business even further and Mark is the perfect person to take this forward.”

The Mob is again hosting a summer party later this month, after toasting its arrival in Manchester with a launch event last year.
