Osborne Clarke has advised independent production company, Arrow Media on funding from Channel 4's £20m Growth Fund.

The Channel 4 Growth Fund was launched earlier this year and aims to nurture the independent sector by providing access to funding for small to medium sized creative companies based in the UK. The investment will enable Arrow Media to expand its senior team and grow its global content portfolio of rich content, across live, scripted, factual and factual entertainment programming.

The award-winning production company was first advised by Osborne Clarke when it was founded in 2011 by Iain Pelling, Tom Brisley and John Smithson. It is now one of the UK's most ambitious creative forces and fastest-growing indies, with a proven track record for creating high quality content across TV, film and digital media.

The Osborne Clarke team that advised on the transaction included Associate Director Mathias Loertscher and Associates Sarah Crabtree, Karen Pettigrew and Camilla Fell.
