Hackman Capital Partners and partner Square Mile Capital Management have acquired Wardpark Film and Television Studios, located in Cumbernauld, Scotland.

Wardpark is the largest and only full-service studio in Scotland. The 14-acre campus offers approximately 200,000 square feet of studio space, including five sound stages, production offices, workshops, and an external green screen area.

The studio is home to TV series Outlander, which is currently filming its sixth season on site.

Hackman Capital currently owns Dagenham Studios and has plans for a second London site in Barking. It also recently acquired two studios in Ireland.

We're thrilled to be adding Wardpark Film and Television Studios to our distinguished portfolio and excited to be entering the Scottish production market, said Michael Hackman, founder and CEO of Hackman Capital Partners. Wardpark has been a strong catalyst for growth in the country's creative sector, and Scotland has become an important filming destination for international content creators, thanks in part to its lush landscape and scenery and competitive tax credits, as well as its top talent pool.

Terry Thomson, chairman and CEO of Wardpark Studios, added: We are delighted to have Hackman Capital Partners and The MBS Group make their first venture into Scotland. Their experience in the film and television industry and their commitment to Scotland will ensure that Wardpark Studios continues to develop and provide secure employment for years to come.
