Tom Mitchell, Technical Director (TM) “Mission is all about collaboration where the sum of the parts is greater than the whole. We have specialists who just focus on colour management, workflow or file management alongside field technicians including DITs, lab operators and video playback specialists. Most of the team are trained in-house within our certification program. We have a production team focussing on logistics and planning to ensure your production has everything it needs as things change and evolve, and technical wizards who can build or program anything you need to make it just work. We can do all that whilst communicating with all the other stakeholders and third parties what they need to do their job. We don’t consider the job as done until it is released. We’re there from start to finish.
MP “The better we do our job, the less engagement we have with our customers. The technical ability we offer is there to serve the creative process.”
TM “Mission now has close to 50 dedicated contractors and 20 full time staff, two sites in London, and one in Wales. We’re building a talented team rooted in experience with recent appointments including Kevin Shaw, CSI to head up our colour department and Miles Stormer managing our workflow solutions. We’ve just opened up a new facility at Shepperton Studios, a facility thoroughbred to run lab services for the most demanding of jobs, with high-speed internet connectivity and uniquely direct connection to AWS for clients looking to back up in the cloud. We also have a Theatre with 4K HDR and projector viewing environment, perfect for setting up colour pipelines and DI and
finishing work. The Shepperton Lab brings our services even closer to the action. We are now renowned as the most prolific premier DIT and lab service company in the UK. Working with Amazon Studios, Working Title, Netflix, HBO, Universal Studios, Disney, Apple, and so many more.”
MP “We’re lucky enough to have worked with some of the greatest cinematographers like Vittorio Storaro, ASC, AIC, Robert Richardson, ASC and John Mathieson, CAL, BSC. Their faith in us is testament to how we’re perceived. When someone risks their reputation because they believe in you, you can’t let them down. This is a dream come true to work with my favourite cinematographers.”
“Mark Purvis helped guide me through one of the first ever Arri Alexa shoots, The Inbetweeners Movie in 2010. I’ve had Mark & the Mission team alongside me ever since. With their unparalleled knowledge & outstanding service, they remain my first choice for data management & digital expertise on every project.”

The new facility at Shepperton Studios
assets and the youth of the business. However, after getting to know Mark, and understanding Mission’s unique position and future plans for growth, I was convinced by their confidence, technical capability, and drive to succeed.
“To scale as planned they would need a variety of funding solutions, and I was determined to help them with their early requirement and hopefully play a part in their success story. Since then I have developed a great collaborative relationship with both Mark and Tom as Mission has expanded and evolved, and I am proud to have played a small (but, I hope, significant) part in supporting them as those early ideas developed into the unique and successful business Mission has become.”
Mark Purvis Managing Director, Mission
“Sam was new to her job and I was new to running Mission. Sam came in and saw us and believed that we could grow this business. She put her trust in us and fought hard for us to get the funding we needed at the time. That relationship has endured as the business has expanded and we’ve only turned to Sam and Adamantean when we’ve been looking for additional funding ever since. I think that this concept of pushing suppliers around to get the best deal is really short-sighted. You make incremental savings and what you should really be looking for are people who will take your calls in the evenings and at weekends and be there for you. Sam Arlow is that person.”
