Lion Overview |
| Lion Television was founded in 1997 by Jeremy Mills, Nick Catliff and Richard Bradley. Since then Lion has become one of the most successful independent production companies in the United Kingdom.
The company currently has over 200 production staff at its London, Glasgow, New York, and Los Angeles bases. Overseeing all staff and productions is Shahana Meer, who became a Company Director in 1999 having been with the company from its outset.
