An independent production company has been recognised by a prestigious industry magazine.

Brighton-based Electric Sky Productions has made it into Broadcast's annual industry survey of top 100 indies.

It has been ranked 13th in the regional survey and 63rd in the overall industry survey showing a significant improvement on last year's 71st position.

Sister company, distributors Electric Sky, also scored a top position after being voted within the Top 10 Most Used Distributors in the UK.

Benita Matofska, creative director at Electric Sky Productions, said: "ESP is now very firmly on the production map.

"We have an excellent creative team here with specialised skills in gaining unprecedented access and breaking new talent and we're carving out a niche for ourselves."

Last year Electric Sky produced over 62 hours of programming for broadcasters in Britain and the US, including Fat Doctor for Discovery Home & Health and Make Your Child Brilliant, a prime-time series for Channel Five.
