Chris Higgs has been with ITFC since 1990 and has overseen its growth from a film post-production company with an annual turnover of less than £1m to a leading market player in the UK broadcasting industry, employing around 170 people across 2 sites and with an annual turnover in excess of £13m. He has been responsible for the introduction of major new business areas to the company, including captioning, audio description and signing. In recent years, the Company has expanded these services to the film and DVD distribution industry and has added DVD authoring services and foreign language translation to its growing portfolio. Chris is also a Director of Captioning and Subtitling International, a joint venture set up by ITFC and WordWave, which has won business in the UK and Australia.
In August 2007, ITFC was acquired by the Medici Group LLC and Chris worked with existing shareholders to oversee the successful sale of the business.
