Nation & Regions / 4 All the UK

Working across the UK and representing our audience

Six years ago, we made a landmark decision to expand our operations outside London, opening offices in Leeds, Bristol, and Glasgow. By putting down roots in the Nations and Regions, we hardwired our mission into the heart of everything we do, reinforcing Channel 4’s promise to represent the whole of the UK.

Last year we launched the next phase of our 4 All the UK strategy – our biggest-ever intervention in the UK’s creative economy, designed to reflect and serve audiences everywhere and build a sector fit for the future.

Our Nations & Regions team work across the entirety of Channel 4, and with external partners and stakeholders to ensure that our 4 All the UK strategy is delivered. We are committed to maintaining over 50% of our creative content spend in the Nations & Regions. We have around 500 roles om our bases outside of London –across Leeds, Bristol, Glasgow and a brand new space in Manchester – and have plans to increase this to 600. And we are now investing £10m in 4Skills, Channel 4’s nationwide training and development programme, based at our National HQ in Leeds. It’s designed to open up opportunities in the TV industry, from creating entry-level roles, to helping people progress their careers, and working with indies to grow across the Nations and Regions.

Nations & Regions is also home to the Enterprise Portfolio Management Office (EPMO). The EMPO works with all parts of Channel 4 to ensure that the Fast Forward strategy gets delivered successfully. The EPMO provides support through project governance, mentoring, and best practice guidance, as well as tools and processes that help teams manage projects and portfolios in a consistent way, no matter where they sit in the organisation.

Channel 4’s Sustainability team is also part of Nations & Regions. Channel 4 is committed to becoming a net zero business by 2030, and the Sustainability team are involved in all aspects of the business to ensure we meet that commitment. This includes planning out the roadmap, engaging with partners internally and externally, and measuring and reporting our progress.

Charlotte Michael- Senior Portfolio Lead, 4Skills

I work in our 4Skills team in Leeds, overseeing all of our projects: whether that’s working with kids in schools across the UK to consider careers in TV, helping people get their first role in the industry through an apprenticeship or training scheme, or working with commissioners and independent production companies to grow the sector outside of London. Channel 4 is an amazing place to work – it’s packed full of brilliant, passionate people and I feel very lucky to have built my career here up in Leeds.

My role at Channel 4 is cover all things Sustainability and to help us to achieve our climate goals. I work across the channel to understand our emissions and reduce them across our main departments. I was attracted to the role because of its potential to make meaningful change with a brand aligned to my values. I am based in the Leeds office, I am new in the television and media industry and so far, it’s been a joy to work for Channel 4. All my colleagues are super collaborative and its easy to make connections across the various departments at Leeds but also people based out of other offices.
