Space Studios Manchester has welcomed Cheryl Hughes as Brand and Marketing Manager, joining the team in a newly created role focused on raising the profile of Space and strengthening Manchester’s position as a leading destination for film and television production.

With more than 15 years’ experience across brand, content and marketing, Cheryl’s career has spanned the media, entertainment and charity sectors, including roles with Global Media & Entertainment, AO.com and RNID. Her move to Space also marks a return to her northern roots after four years working at Pinewood Studios.

Rob Page, Managing Director of Space Studios Manchester, said: “Welcoming Cheryl into the role of Brand & Marketing Manager, marks an important step in Space Studios’s evolution. Her expertise will help shape Space and Screen Manchester for the future and really put us on the map as the go-to destination for filming in the North-West of England.”

Cheryl joins at an exciting time for Space and the North West’s growing production industry. Recent projects hosted at the studio include Netflix’s House of Guinness and AMC’s The Talamasca, alongside productions including Peaky Blinders, Boiling Point, Brassic and Daddy Issues.

Commenting on her new role, Cheryl said: “I’m excited to be back in Manchester to help raise the profile of Space Studios and the whole north-west region as a first-class filming destination here in the UK. Many US and international clients have already enjoyed the northern hospitality and solid film and TV infrastructure we have to offer and I look forward to building on that.”

Cheryl will work across the Space brand, showcasing the studio, its productions and the wider production ecosystem that makes Manchester and the North West such a compelling place to create film and television.
