2025 – that’s a wrap on another explosive year

As 2025 came to a close, we reflected on another year of growth, creativity, and milestones. From blockbuster productions to regional expansion and sustainable innovation, it’s been a year that showcases the very best of Real SFX. Check out our 2025 showcase below….

Screen Highlights

2025 saw our SFX touch some extraordinary projects:

  • Havoc, Hostage, and Talamasca: The Secret Order – all landed in Netflix’s Global Top 10

  • Feature releases including The Crow Girl, Dope Girls, Last Breath, Death Valley, Man in My Basement, Hedda, Christmas Karma, The War Between the Land and the Sea

  • The latest season of Doctor Who

Behind the scenes, we’re also super excited about just some of the 2026 titles that will be dropping soon, including Guy Ritchie’s Young Sherlock and the incredible Under Salt Marsh, along with other projects still under wraps. 

Region Expansion Across the UK

Whilst Cardiff remains our home and HQ, 2025 saw us expand even further, and we now have fully operational hubs in Bristol, London, and Birmingham, supporting productions across every major UK filming region. With nearly 20 years of experience, our teams provide local crews, equipment, and expertise wherever productions need us.

“Wherever the action is, we’re there and ready to make it happen.”

People & Sustainability

2025 was more than just appeared on screen for us, and we continued to invest in crew development and sustainability – which are all central to us:

  • KIT4CREW expanded across all major UK studios, redistributing workwear and supporting crew welfare

  • We are very proud to be the only SFX company listed on the BAFTA albert accredited suppliers directory, highlighting our commitment to safe, responsible, and sustainable production

  • Welcoming our next intake of apprentices through SGIL Cymru, keeping the next generation of SFX talent thriving

“Responsible, safe, and sustainable production isn’t a trend – it’s ingrained in who we are.”

Celebrating Milestones

2025 was full of many other moments we celebrated, including (just a few):

  • One year at The Bottle Yard Studios, Bristol

  • Anniversary of our Emmy win

  • Celebrating Bad Wolf’s 10-year milestone

  • Named GBEA Creative Entrepreneur Wales winners

  • Re-launch of Digbeth Location Studios, Birmingham

Looking Ahead

As we kick-start back in 2026, we have lots of exciting things in the pipeline focusing on growth and innovation, including:

  • SFX Masterclasses to share skills and inspire new talent

  • A carbon tracking tool for more sustainable productions

  • Continued investment in regional hubs, crew development, and innovation

“Your trust and collaboration drive us to continue delivering SFX excellence across the UK and beyond.”

Thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey so far, and we are looking forward to even more explosive Real SFX action in 2026 and beyond!
