Kennington Creative Group Reviews

I worked at Spectrecom for several years making high quality films that I was proud to be involved with, and many projects that took me to different parts of the world – there are some great opportunities here if you have ambition. Every member of the team is professional and supportive and there's a real family vibe that’s experienced right across the company. Spectrecom allowed me the opportunity to broaden my career opportunities and increase my knowledge and application of practical filmmaking. I found myself progressing very quickly from camera assist to camera operator, and in later years I directed a number of projects, which later went on to win industry awards. I suspect there are very few other production companies around that would afford that level of experience so early in a person’s career. Myself and many of my colleagues at Spectrecom have now gone on to enjoy successful freelance careers, and it's doubtful that we’d have the same opportunities in the industry today without having first built up skills, knowledge, experience and contacts during time spent at Spectrecom. Contrary to what some other reviewers have said on here, the management team actually care about its staff, having introduced lieu hours, which is rare in our industry, and introducing the living wage 5 years before it became a legal requirement. In recent times there has also been investment in a brand new van, camera equipment and editing facilities, meaning that Spectrecom can continue producing excellent work without the worry of kit failing or the van breaking down (which has happened before a number of times), all very important things to consider when working to deadlines. The company culture strikes a good balance between being friendly, professional and ambitious, meaning that Spectrecom will continue to be a good choice for anyone considering working with them in future.

- The company likes to promote from within where possible - There's a proper management structure in place so you can see where you're aiming for - It is possible to change departments with the company's support if you decide you want to change the direction of your career - My manager always looked out for their team, so I didn't feel isolated within my work - Hours off in lieu - never had that before
