Miller launches strategic partnership with Twickenham Investment Services

Twickenham Film Studios (TFS) announces the launch of Twickenham
Investment Services (TIS), a new FCA‑regulated introducer business established to operate in parallel with the studio’s core production services, extending TFS’s support into areas where producers increasingly require specialist external expertise.

Designed as a direct and streamlined access point to insurance specialists, TIS complements TFS’s existing studio offering by supporting producers earlier and more effectively within their production journey.

Twickenham Investment Services operates as a referral-only introduction service, providing direct access to specialist insurance expertise in the media and entertainment sector through compliant
introductions, while preserving transparency, independence and client choice at all times. As the first step in the offering and launch, TIS has established a partnership with Miller Insurance Services (Miller), a leading independent specialist insurance broker, highly experienced in supporting media and production-related risks across film and television, including direct access to the Lloyd’s of London market.

The strategic partnership with Miller reflects a shared focus on service quality, clarity, and efficiency, placing high-level specialist support for producers at the centre. Miller was selected for its outstanding sector knowledge, strong claims advocacy and proven ability to support productions of all scales, while TIS acts as an introducer, operating strictly on a referral-only basis to facilitate direct access to specialist insurance expertise.

The service is available to all producers, whether or not they decide to base their productions at Twickenham Film Studios, and it allows them to engage earlier and more efficiently with insurance specialists as part of their wider production planning, simplifying access to competitive quotes. The establishment of TIS was made possible by the combined experience and heritage of the parties involved. Twickenham Film Studios, with over a century of history in film production, brings together TFS Managing Director Superna Sethi’s extensive insurance expertise with TIS Co-Founder and Director Brinder Bharaj’s background spanning film insurance and executive production. This is complemented by Miller, itself a business with more than 100 years of insurance heritage and a longstanding commitment to the media and entertainment sector. This shared experience and passion for the industry have been central to shaping a service that is both commercially robust and genuinely aligned with producers’ needs.

Superna Sethi, Managing Director at Twickenham Film Studios said: “Having spent many years working closely with the insurance market, I have seen first-hand how critical the right insurance structure is to the success of independent projects. Twickenham Investment Services was created in response to the very real challenges independent feature film producers face in raising finance at a time when budgets are under increasing pressure. TIS offers them tailored insurance expertise that is fit for purpose, cost-conscious and designed to support projects more effectively, reflecting our ongoing commitment to supporting filmmakers through every stage of their journey.” 

Brinder Bharaj, Co-founder and Director at Twickenham Investm ent Services said: “Twickenham Investment Services has been designed to support clients throughout the full lifecycle of a project by making compliant introductions to specialist partners. The service directly draws on my experience across specialist insurance for film and television as well as executive production, making us expert partners who truly understand the realities of production. Our partnership with Miller marks the first step in our launch and reflects a shared focus on responsiveness, transparency and delivering an exceptional client experience.”

Susana Bramwell, Head of Media , Film & TV at Miller said:
“Miller has a long history of supporting film and television productions operating in complex risk environments. Today more than ever, there is a market need for deep specialist insight, coupled with service excellence and strong claims support at every stage of a project, and this partnership is built to deliver exactly that. We are delighted to partner with Twickenham Investment Services as its first specialist partner at launch as they build a supportive environment for industry creators.”

Twickenham Investment Services has been successfully operating a soft-launch phase since early December 2025, engaging a selected group of industry participants and already generating a strong flow of referrals. The high proportion of applications that progressed into completed deals exceeded the initial expectations, highlighting the relevance and effectiveness of the service for independent producers. Twickenham Film Studios will continue to invest in additional services and partnerships that support the evolving needs of film and television production, further expanding their offering and reinforcing their position as London’s leading ' Home For Filmmakers’.
