History

Platform was founded in 2001 by creative director and graphic designer David Tasker and editor Simon Cruse.^[2]

In 2008 VFX editor and colourist John Cryer from The Joint joined Platform^[3] investing a share of the company and contributing high-end visual effects to Platform's creative offering. This kick started Platform's commercial presence, diversifying the company's client base and ensured the company's ability to take on graphic and VFX heavy projects.

Platform has undergone expansion of the facility in Soho to broaden its range of genres, which has seen it grow from a three-suite outfit into a hub of twenty-four operational area offering 12 Avid suites, 3 studios, 4 flames suites^[4] and a grading suite with Baselight.^[5]
