Five years the wiser

Five years ago, uk-based distrib Parthenon Entertainment was just finding its feet, with six employees and 250 hours of non-fiction in its library. Now, Parthenon has made its mark internationally, with headquarters in Hertfordshire, a new office in Bristol, and operations in London, South Africa, Washington and Germany. Three years ago it began producing its own programs, and built a state-of-the-art production facility. In all, it has delivered over 700 hours of factual, mostly in hd, to broadcasters such as National Geographic, tlc and Discovery.
