Forest Hill (South London News) June 29, 2026 – Notorious DIT has expanded its senior management team and opened a new headquarters in Forest Hill as part of a wider growth push backed by Molinare Creative Group.As reported by Broadcast Now, Notorious DIT has accelerated its expansion with continued investment from Molinare Creative Group, while Televisual said the company has strengthened its senior leadership team and established a new headquarters in Forest Hill.
The move gives the DIT, dailies, workflow and production technology specialist a dedicated operational base in South London for its growing team, technology infrastructure and logistics.
The company has also been developing lower-impact production options, including battery-powered workflows, electric vehicles and solar-assisted capabilities.
Who has joined the company?
Televisual reported that Karla Lucas has joined as general manager after senior leadership roles at Roundtable Post Production and Clear Cut Pictures.
Roger Harlow has come in as head of business development, bringing commercial experience from The Farm and Cinelab London, while Courtney Walsh has joined as senior producer with more than 15 years of production experience.
The leadership group will work with head of production and workflow James Vorley to develop the business and its services further.
Why does the Forest Hill HQ matter?
The new headquarters in Forest Hill appears designed to support both day-to-day operations and future expansion.
Televisual said the larger office offers a dedicated operational base, while the company’s own website lists its London base in South East London.
Broadcast Now noted that the business has received significant backing from Molinare Creative Group, which has helped fund the expansion.
What did the company say?
Broadcast Now reported comments from Nigel Bennett, chief executive of Molinare Creative Group, who said the group had made significant investments in Notorious DIT over the past two years because it believes strongly in the opportunity ahead.
He added that, with the new leadership team, a new operational hub and support from the wider group, the business is well positioned to support productions at a higher level and build on existing foundations.
That statement frames the expansion as a strategic scale-up rather than a short-term office move.
How has the business expanded before?
UK Screen Alliance reported in 2024 that Notorious DIT appointed Ram Tripathi as production technology and DI consultant and launched new services, showing the company had already been broadening its offer before this latest move.
The same report said the company had also expanded into Liverpool the previous year, with further support in the north west. Together, those developments suggest a wider regional growth pattern alongside the new South London base.

Background to development
Notorious DIT is a UK-based DIT and digital LAB provider operating within the wider Molinare Creative Group. Its service list includes DIT, dailies, workflow and production technology support, and its recent credits include productions such as The Magic Faraway Tree and Should I Marry a Murderer.
The company’s current public contact details also place it in South East London, underlining that the Forest Hill move builds on an existing London footprint rather than creating a presence from scratch.
Prediction
For film and television productions, the expansion may mean stronger local access to workflow and production technology services in South London, with a larger team available to support shoots and post-production needs.
For the wider production sector, the investment in flexible and lower-impact workflows could make Notorious DIT more attractive to projects looking for practical sustainability options.
The company’s growth also suggests that South London could see more specialist media businesses consolidating there as production services continue to expand.
