Twickenham Studios launches insurance service to support struggling filmmakers

Twickenham Film Studios, one of London’s oldest production facilities, has launched a new service for filmmakers. Twickenham Investment Services (TIS) will connect producers with specialist insurance brokers to ease financial challenges. The initiative aims to simplify access to tailored insurance solutions in the media and entertainment industry.

Founded in 1913, Twickenham Film Studios has long been a key player in British film and television. Its new venture, TIS, operates as an FCA-regulated introducer business, focusing on independent producers struggling with rising budget pressures. The service was quietly introduced in early December 2025, working initially with a small group of industry professionals.

TIS runs on a referral-only basis, ensuring producers receive streamlined access to expert insurance advice. The service is open to all, regardless of whether they work at the West London studio. Co-founded by Brinder Bharaj—a specialist in film insurance and executive production—it links clients to Miller Insurance Services, an independent broker with access to Lloyd’s of London. The partnership with Miller highlights a shared commitment to responsiveness, transparency, and high-quality client service. By connecting producers with experienced brokers, TIS aims to remove barriers in securing essential financial protections for film and television projects.

TIS now offers a direct route for producers to access specialist insurance support. The service builds on Twickenham’s long-standing industry presence while addressing current financial hurdles. With Miller as its first partner, the initiative is set to expand its reach in the coming months.
