All3Media is set to become the largest British-owned TV independent TV producer this year with a turnover of £400m. The producer of TV hits Midsomer Murders and Richard and Judy has increased its turnover by £22m in last 11 months.

The sales are likely to double by the end of this year in August, courtesy a string of acquisitions during the past few months. Acquisition spree has shot up All3Media’s international income by around 33% from 10% of group turnover two years before.

Chief executive and co-founder Steve Morrison earned gross salary and bonuses of £419,000 for the year as against £384,000 in 2006. While the two other directors were paid £60,000 as monitoring fees for their advice, Permira charged a combined £183,000 fees for representatives Carl Parker and Robin Bell-Jones. Earnings that form key measurement for the equity-owned companies increased to £35m in 11 months from £27m in 2006. Interest payments rose to £43m from £8.7m in 2006.

Three foreign-owned groups – the X Factor producer Fremantle, IMG World and Big Brother producer Endemol - ominate the UK’s independent television production. All3Media now becomes the largest operator after these three.
