Listen Media 'to hire 200 people' in Liverpool
The Listen Media Company, the business which secured government backing through the second round of the Regional Growth Fund (RGF), will create 200 jobs in Liverpool producing "new and traditional media content".
That's according to a statement issued by the firm which is essentially a shell company registered to an address in Cambridge.
How-Do started looking into Listen Media when no one, either from the company or in government, could say what it did or what it planned to do with the cash, which is thought to be a sum of at least £1m - the fund's minimum pay-out.
The statement said it, "will produce new and traditional media content for TV, radio, print, web and mobile".
"It brings to the UK, business that will employ over 200 people directly and many hundreds more through the supply chain activity. Most of its sales will be global exports.
"The exact nature of its content cannot be revealed for commercial reasons but it ranges from the production of weekly media content to one off specials, from news and documentary to short stories and entertainment.
"The company will make further announcements once the government's due diligence is concluded."
Listen Media is owned by Stephen Callen, pictured, a London-based businessman who is also the finance director at TV and film indie Talent TV.
Fellow board directors are Shunmagum Pillay, who is listed at Companies House as a consultant, and Murray Dudgeon. This is likely to be the same Dudgeon who is a former chief operating officer at the global media buying and planning agency Universal McCann and now works for Acxiom Europe as client services director.
