Article Abstract:
The merger between Brook Associates and Brian Lapping Associates on May 1 1997 formed a new company called Brook Lapping Productions. Brook Lapping Productions will have a yearly turnover of about 6 million pounds sterling. The merger between the two companies is in response to their negative experiences in gaining commissions from UK television stations. The management hope to make more popular programmes along with their highly rated factual programmes. The Brook Lapping management plans to develop closer links with the new UK television station, Channel 5.
