Cheshire-based super indie, Ten Alps has added another company to its roster as it continues its acquisition plans.
In a statement to the London Stock Exchange it announced the deal with Films of Record , which it hopes will add value to its television and online television production.
Films of Record was founded in 1979 by Roger Graef OBE and it's renowned for its observational documentaries, including Hold Me Tight, Let Me Go, The 911-Faker and Who Killed PC Blakelock?
The company’s team will now join Ten Alps’ two existing TV brands in their Kentish Town production offices, to create one of the world’s leading independent documentary operations.
While they will share facilities, the three brands will have separate identities.
"Films of Record make important, high-quality television and new media, and we are delighted they are joining us. They have a skill for accessing ground-breaking stories, and considerable online TV acumen," said Alex Connock, CEO of Ten Alps.

"We have been expanding over the years bringing our experience of discreet access filming to areas such as current affairs, science, business, the arts and recent history - most recently Was Crippen Innocent? for Five, PBS and the History Channel," explained Graef.
"Joining Ten Alps will give us the breadth of support to sustain and build on our online TV expansion. I am also confident that my new colleagues share the same values that Films of Record has stood for over the last thirty years. That was a crucial part of our decision to join them."
