Exclusive: The Ink Factory, producer of Golden Globe-winning series The Night Manager and Stephen Merchant feature Fighting With My Family, has made job cuts as it refocuses on development following the coronavirus pandemic and its new partnership with Endeavour Content.
Deadline understands that the UK production company, which sold a minority stake to Endeavour in February, has made five redundancies this year in marketing, finance and production roles, which was roughly 18% of the 27 staff it employed at the end of 2019. Remaining employees took a pay cut during the crisis.
It follows The Ink Factory’s revenue plummeting 92% to $4.9M last year, down from $62.5M in 2018. According to The Little Drummer Girl’s 2019 earnings, its pre-tax loss also widened, falling from $2.6M in 2018 to $6.7M last year.
In a statement, The Ink Factory co-ceo Simon Cornwell said: “In common with almost every independent studio, we see significant year-to-year volatility in revenues...
