Capricorn Productions
Capricorn Productions has been based in Maidstone
for over 18 years. Long term Maidstone resident Colin Farley
established the company in 1986, initially to make video programmes
to promote environmental issuses and complementary health, both
subjects in which he takes an active interest.
With the focus on environmental issues, Capricorn speculatively
produced the popular video ‘Discovering Historic
Maidstone’ and two years later ‘On Top of the Weald’
both for the sell through market, which led to the company
establishing a niche in the production of environmentally based
promotional material for various organisations throughout Kent.
With its fully equipped studio base in Maidstone, Capricorn
can comfortably service companies not only in Kent, but London and
beyond, as effectively and economically as similar London based
companies or other larger cities throughout the UK. All the
employees live within a comfortable commute of the office and
prefer to work in a well established medium-sized town like
Maidstone, with a tradition for programme making in the days of
TVS, rather than a big busy city or within the commotion of the
capital itself.
Maidstone, with its close proximity to the M20 and M2
Motorways, easy distance from Gatwick and Manston airports, is
served by a regular mainline railway service with London, making it
easily accessible for our clients.
Capricorn Productions is one of the founding members of the
newly formed ‘MediaTree’ which is sponsored by the Maidstone
Borough Council, KCC and Business Link, and is committed to promote
the growth of the media industry in the Maidstone area.
