Essex Live Production from Braintree

Vernum Broadcast is an independent production company headquartered in Braintree, Essex, delivering Essex live production to broadcast standard. Our base sits at the junction of the A120 and M11 corridors — well placed for venues across Chelmsford, Colchester, Southend, Basildon and the wider county, with straightforward access to London, Cambridge and the East of England when the brief calls for it.

Essex live production covers everything from a single-camera corporate capture to a full multi-camera live event with vision mix, comms and redundant recording. We crew and operate on sport at local grounds and regional arenas, music at festivals and concert venues, theatre at producing houses and receiving venues, and corporate events at hotels, campuses and exhibition sites. The same operational discipline runs through every scale: labelled kit, logged media, clear handover, and crews who treat the venue's rules as seriously as the show itself.

What we deliver from Braintree

From our Braintree base we provide camera operators, directors of photography, sound recordists, vision engineers and production management — either as a full Vernum team or as specialist crew integrated into your existing OB or venue build. Direction, capture, sound, edit and delivery can sit under one roof, which matters when you are producing marketing edits, archive masters and social cutdowns from the same day of filming rather than contracting three separate suppliers.

Our Essex work includes theatre filming for regional producing houses, live event coverage for cultural programming, and broadcast crewing on sport and entertainment productions for clients including the BBC, Warner Bros. Discovery, Gravity Media and UEFA. We know the county's venues, load-in patterns and local crew networks — and we bring national broadcast experience to productions that do not have a national broadcast budget.

Regional base, national reach

Braintree is deliberately chosen: inside the London commuter ring for capital jobs without capital overheads, central to East Anglia for county-wide coverage, and close enough to major hire houses and connectivity hubs to stay agile on kit and turnaround. For Essex clients that means competitive day rates, no unnecessary travel premiums for local venues, and a production partner who is in the county — not routed through a London office on the way to your site.

One quote. One contract. One contact — from Braintree to your venue, gallery or edit suite.

Whether you need Essex live production for a single performance, a season of sport, or ongoing crewing support on a touring show, we scope every job on its merits. Tell us the venue, the audience, the deliverables and the timeline — and we will size the right team, identify the kit that earns its place, and put a costed proposal in front of you.
