London-based 3DD Productions – which creates programmes for Sky and Netflix – first approached ThinCats for funding in 2013 when they had plans to bring post production in-house to reduce production costs, and to grow the number of television series licensed worldwide.
Since then, the firm has returned to ThinCats for a number of loans through its partner firm F&P Sponsors.
Dominic Saville, CEO at 3DD Productions, said: “ThinCats and F&P understand our business, and the strength of these business relationships, and we have been able to see a successful period of working together.

- LDF supports UK SMEs with £500m in 2017
“ThinCats has demonstrated a business strength, coupled with a good understanding of the TV industry and its globalisation.
“The lenders understand 3DD’s business model and can see the results in our business growth and on the screen.
“The process is fast, and this allows for new opportunities to be proposed and turned around within weeks.”
Damon Walford, chief directing officer at ThinCats (pictured above), added: “3DD has big plans to continue to grow its output; expanding the in-house production and editing capability, creating new series strands, building larger accounts with broadcast partners and focusing on growing developing markets such as China.
“Strategic funding is key to fuelling such impressive goals."
