History

In 1980, in a flat in Welling, South East London, Managing Director David Pacy and Technical Director Brian Rottger founded Metrovideo. Its principal activity was tape sales to advertising agencies such as JWT (formerly J. Walter Thompson Co.), Saatchi & Saatchi and Y&R (formerly Young & Rubicam). The company soon relocated to Landsdown Road in Stockwell and then, in April 1984, to the Old Bacon Factory in Great Suffolk Street, London SE1. In early 1986, the business was sold to WPP plc, a British, multinational advertising and public relations company founded by Martin Sorrell. Metrovideo was the third company to be acquired by the Group. Metrovideo later acquired a number of regional video businesses for itself, including Horizon Video and Still Frame Video in the South of England and Teletape Anglia in Cambridge. This expanded the sales, installation, service, AV hire and technical event production| areas of the company. A broadcast division of the company was located in offices in London’s Soho. All of these businesses traded under the Metro Group banner. In 1990, Metro launched a full-service production business called G Force, which later changed its name to Clever Media. Clever Media was then merged into another WPP operating company. In 1997, the company extended its operation into Scotland by establishing an office and equipment warehouse in Edinburgh. In 2007, the Company was renamed as Metro Broadcast Ltd. In 2012 Metro Broadcast relocated its head office and main business premises to its current location in Oval, South London. In 2014, it acquired additional workshop space to house its set and staging department. Today, the London business is led by Managing Director Mary Metcalfe, and the Scottish business is led by Managing Director Oscar Askin. In 2020, the Company re-branded to Metro Production Group. In 2024, the Company moved the main operations to a larger premises in Battersea. 1 Stewarts Lane, London, SW83HE. Today the business is led by Managing Director Liz Rice, Finance Director Matthew Hearn. The head office remains at 2 Rose Court, Southwark Bridge Road, London, SE1 9HS

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Metro Production Group

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Metro Production Group claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Metro Production Group before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Metro Production Group ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Metro Production Group

In research: Metro Production Group appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Metro Production Group in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Metro Production Group is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Event management, Internet broadcasting, WPP plc, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Metro Production Group outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
