Argonon has added another indie to its roster with the launch of factual formats company Studio Leo.

The London-based outfit has already secured its first commission with Channel 5’s three-part doc series 101 Years of Tesco.

It is headed up by chief creative officer Claire Collinson-Jones, who set up and ran Hat Trick's factual division and created formats such as C5’s Rich House, Poor House, ITV’s Dinner Date and Channel 4’s Lost and Found.

Collinson-Jones said her development slate included documentaries, features, factual entertainment and ‘purpose-driven’ formasts.

Studio Leo’s launch follows the creation of Argonon USA and the group’s acquisition of branded content business Nemorin Film & Video.

Argonon chief executive James Burstall said Studio Leo would complement the exisiting activities of established label Leopard Films.

“Claire is a gifted exec and is drawing together the strong heritage of the Leopard brand with a fresh new attitude,” he said. “She is also helping us further converge our group with inter-company co-productions across UK and US, genres and brands.”
