New visuals of how Littlewoods Building will look as Twickenham Studios confirms commitment despite fire

“We’re busy speaking to potential occupiers and planning what the space will look like inside, what finishes we’ll need and how the various spaces will work together. We’re making sure the inside is impressive and beautifully designed, befitting of what is an icon for Liverpool.”

Andrew Boswell, commercial director at Twickenham Studios, said that Liverpool was well-placed to capitalise on “a perfect storm for the UK’s film industry”.

“As well as the huge rise in investment in film, the appetite for original content from the streaming giants such as Netflix and Amazon is putting what the UK currently has to offer under strain,” he said.

“Ask anyone in the industry and they talk about space. At Twickenham we receive enquiries for large scale space – from the UK and international productions – on a weekly basis. Liverpool has all the right ingredients to make Littlewoods Studios the leading site for new TV and film studios in the UK and we can’t wait to be part of that story.”

It is expected that the studios will be up and running in 2020.
