About us

EMG UK was formed by combining together two of the UK’s leading OB companies, CTV and Telegenic, both of which have been long-standing pioneers of excellence and innovation in outside broadcast. Leveraging their unmatched expertise across sports and live events, we offer services to both national and international TV and media productions.

EMG UK facilitates content creation using the latest generation of facilities and dedicated service-oriented professionals, combining decades of experience with commitment, flexibility, and creativity.  We run a state-of-the-art fleet of UHD (Ultra High Definition) Outside Broadcast Units and a Remote Operations Centre (ROC) providing television coverage of international events for a vast range of UK and global clients.

Who we are

EMG UK is a partner for the largest national and international events, covering sports (The DP World Tour, The Open, The Ryder Cup, Premier League and Champions League football, Test match and domestic cricket, international and domestic rugby, NFL, The Boat Race, London Marathon, UEFA Euros and more), live events such as the BAFTAs, Brit Awards, Isle of Wight Festival, Royal state events and entertainment programmes including Dancing on Ice, Strictly Come Dancing, Britain’s Got Talent and 24 Hours in A&E.

Outside of the United Kingdom, EMG is active in France, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Luxemburg, the US and Australia. This allows us to join forces with our sister companies, exchange knowledge and experiences, and operate flexibly and efficiently on both a national and an international level. This also gives our clients access to a wide range of potential facilities, services and solution.

EMG UK is situated in High Wycombe.

We work as one team with our clients and take immense pride in the work we deliver.

The depth of experience, initiative and creative approach of our crew is our biggest asset at EMG.

Global

EMG is active in 10 countries, and counting, enabling us to offer our services worldwide as well as regionally. With fast turnaround deployments possible to many key destinations around the globe and an increasingly international client base, no job is too big or too small for our experienced teams.

We offer our clients customized end-to-end solutions based on their individual needs. Our complete range of media services allows us to operate as a one-stop-shop with the ability to meet the demands of any type of production.

SUSTAINABILITY
AND DIVERSITY

We are committed to building environmental sustainability, practising social responsibility and ensuring effective corporate governance into all aspects of our business.  We are passionate about creating sustained outcomes that can create value and worth, acknowledging our impact on the environment and society.  As part of our commitment we want to create a logical, realistic and tangible plan; one that can achieve results whilst embedding these principles across EMG and the wider industry.

 

Steps that we have taken include improving the carbon literacy of the entire workforce and implementing a range of initiatives across all our offices and in the field to dramatically reduce our carbon footprint. We were the first within the industry to adopt GREEN D+ HVO fuel for our fleet, operating on cleaner and greener fuel and our OB’s are all SUP free.  An Albert Sustainable Supplier, we have an ongoing commitment for a more sustainable business and are constantly reviewing our activities to accelerate a clean and green culture overseen by the EMG UK Sustainability working group.

We are dedicated to encouraging a supportive and inclusive culture amongst our whole workforce.  We have a vision and a determination to create the most ‘inclusive’ company possible.  This includes building and implementing programmes including training for managers and education for all employees as well as partnering with colleges and institutions that promote diversity or are in disadvantaged sectors of the community. We work in partnership with our clients and with experts in the field to target under-represented groups at the right point on their career journey.

We hope these commitments will have a positive impact industry-wide in terms of new talent and greater representation.
