Richard Purchases AIR Studios
On 8th February Strongroom's owner and MD Richard Boote announced the purchase of Sir George Martin's AIR Studios from Chrysalis Group and Pioneer.
Richard says "I believe that bringing Strongroom and AIR together will not only ensure the survival of two of the greatest recording facilities in Europe but will also enhance the offering of both studios. Clients will benefit from an expanded and more varied pool of technological knowledge and experience, a wider choice of studios and access to a much broader range of state of the art audio and video post production facilities."
Richard plans to keep both businesses running as they exist today, maintaining their structures, identities and areas of specialisation. In the longer term clients of both studios - in industries ranging from music, film, broadcast and advertising to games and new media - will benefit from an even richer offering of music and post production services at a broader range of price points. For example, AIR's post clients will have access to packages including Strongroom's Off-Line and On-Line HD video post facilities (enabling the group to offer a complete service of video post, audio post and sound track production) whilst Strongroom's clients will be able to use AIR's matchless Lyndhurst Hall studio for orchestral and large scale acoustic recordings.
