Britt Allcroft is a born storyteller and visionary, whose work as the creator of the award-winning series Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends and Shining Time Station has enthralled children and their grown-ups.
Her remarkable ability to bring beloved stories to life for television, through off-screen entertainment that complements and inspires, has earned her widespread recognition as a successful businesswoman.
As the co-founder of The Britt Allcroft Company, which was recently acquired by HIT Entertainment, Britt pioneered the creation of synergy between on-screen and off-screen entertainment, revolutionizing the way stories are told and experienced.
Under her guidance, Thomas & Friends became a worldwide merchandising and television phenomenon, continuing to be a part of the hearts and homes of children worldwide.
Britt's love of storytelling, creativity, and imagination led her to start her new production company, Britt Allcroft Productions, to create entertainment for all ages to enjoy.
Her storytelling ability, entrepreneurial spirit, and practical knowledge - that no band of believers is complete without the investment of money, time, and outreach - are the core strength of her new company.
The essence of entertainment is magic, and Britt's work in film and children's television brings this magic to life for her audience time and again.
This new venture, Britt Allcroft Productions, brings her vision for entertainment to a much broader audience, allowing her to share her unique perspective and creative energy with an even wider range of people.
In addition to her work in the entertainment industry, Britt is an active member of The Sundance Film Institute, The British Academy of Film and Television Arts, and she is a Fellow of The Institute of Directors.
She is also a founding member of the emerging Edgemar Center for the Arts in Santa Monica, California, a testament to her commitment to the arts and her passion for bringing people together through creative expression.
