Scottish Facilities focus for Broadcast- looking for news and recommendations

I'm going to be doing a focus on broadcast facilities in Scotland over the coming few weeks, so get in touch if you're a facility and have some news, or you want to recommend someone for some post, vfx or audio work on one of your recent TV productions. I'll also be looking at studios.

It'll be going into Broadcast magazine in late May, so get in contact asap please.

Cheers
