Established in 1992, The Independent Post Company was conceived as a conduit to the top talent in broadcast television post-production.

Founding partners Mykola Pawluk and Simon Frodsham correctly anticipated the boom in demand for freelance editing talent and the company’s steady growth bears witness to the consistently high service the company provides. IPC began operation in the summer of 1992, initially representing Mykola only. Once the formula and pattern was proven to be successful, the company began to attract other editing talent and it now represents over 130 top freelance editors. IPC exclusively represents editors and only those fully dedicated to producing broadcast television programmes.

As a consequence, IPC’s membership numbers the brightest editing talent in the UK.  Dedicated students of the credit roll will recognise the cream of the IPC roster, but the company is dedicated to finding and nurturing the editing stars of tomorrow as much as sustaining the legends of today. IPC’s history of providing a top service to both its clients and editors has ensured it is the first address for freelance editors looking for representation and the first port of call for anyone looking for topflight editing talent.
