About Us

We live in a content hungry world: budgets are smaller, viewers expectations are higher, and YouTube has turned us all into entertainers. So how can a broadcaster create magnetic content that pulls audiences but balances the books? Cue Fire Mountain.

Creative Pragmatists. We believe greater impact takes greater thinking, not greater budgets. We are ambitious but pragmatic and well used to finding creative ways to put more of your budget where your audience will see it: on screen.

Experienced. This is not our first rodeo: we have a huge range of programmes to our credit and believe that this shows in the films we produce for our partners. You’ll see our names at the end of many of the nation’s favourite television programmes and, if pushed, we’ll bang the gong about the awards we have won and the celebrities we have worked with along the way.

Delivery. We deliver consistently, time after time. Leave the uncertainty and thrills to the content, not the production. Our team is tried and tested by all the UK's major broadcasters.
