UK post-production house and film equity investor LipSync has entered administration, the company has confirmed to Screen.
A statement from the company said it was “business as usual” during the process, that no redundancies had been made and ” an announcement sale would be made soon”.
Lipsync was founded in 1984 and has worked on films including The Brutalist, The Salt Path and Tornado, as well as We Need To Talk About Kevin, Nowhere Boy and Testament Of Youth.
Lipsync has long been a fixture of the London film production scene, with an office on Wardour Street in Soho. Its parent company is Glenthorp Ltd, owned by Lipsync managing director Peter Hampden and finance director Norman Merry.
The company’s most recent earnings, filed for the year to July 2023, showed £36m ($49m) in revenue – a 44% rise – and a pre-tax profit of £1.4m ($1.9m). The company has 69 employees.
Company statement
“Lip Sync Post Limited entered Administration on 15 May 2025 with licensed insolvency practitioners Nick Parsk and Carrie James of Oury Clark appointed Joint Administrators,” read a statement from the company.
“The company is continuing to trade under the control of the Joint Administrators while a sale for the business and assets is finalised,” continued the statement. “The trading period is not expected to be any longer than two weeks as the Joint Administrators are at advanced stages with a third party.
“During this period, it is ‘business as usual’ for the company. No redundancies have been made and the Joint Administrators are hopeful an announcement regarding the sale will be made shortly.”
Lipsync’s process follows the administration of visual effects and post-production company Technicolor, which appointed administrators in February this year and made the majority of its 440 staff redundant.
