of the UKFC. As at 30 June 2008, the company had 90 full-time members of staff.
It distributed more than £160m of lottery money to over 900 films. Lord Puttnam

Investments made by Screen Yorkshire are purposely made to develop talent and content in specific films they target. This is the largest organisation in the UK that invests in content (£15 million). Investments are made on market rate commercial terms with an intention to make sure investment returns are going to produce a legacy fund to support the development of content and production for TV and Film in Yorkshire.
