Expansion for Sheffield animation studio

Visual effects and animation studio, Jellyfish Pictures, is expanding its northern office base in Sheffield with the help of Sheffield Technology Parks

Globally renowned Jellyfish Pictures initially chose to set up home in the city at Sheffield Technology Parks, which provides a unique support package valled Locate for technology companies relocating to Sheffield or wanting to expand operations in the north of England.

Now, with Sheffield Technology Parks’ help, the company has outgrown its current office space because of an expanding creative team.

Sarah Tanner, Jellyfish human resources director, said, “Sheffield Technology Parks has made our move to Sheffield so easy.

“The team were so friendly, professional and helpful, advising us along the way.

“It made it seamless to set up in a new region, where it might have been so much harder.

“This allowed us to concentrate on day-to-day running of the business and now, successfully expanding, making the move a real success.”

The new Jellyfish Pictures team is expanding from Sheffield Technology Parks to new workspace operator WIZU, based on Eyre Street in the city centre.

Tom Wolfenden, Sheffield Technology Parks chief executive officer, said: “I’m thrilled to see Jellyfish staying in Sheffield and creating high-value jobs for talented local individuals.

“Sheffield is a fantastic base for any business and it is fitting that we were able to prove that to Jellyfish through our Locate project.”
