Yorkshire Choice Awards 2023: Cleckheaton video production company ‘proud’ to be named Independent Business of the Year

Sam Teale Productions, which is based in Central Arcade, was awarded the prestigious prize at a glitzy ceremony held at Elland Road on Friday, June 9.

Owner Sam, 20, said after receiving the award:

“Winning this award has been incredible. My small team and I are so proud of the emotive work we achieve every day, but the recognition of this award means that we are touching people’s lives.

“Our content makes them think and that has empowered them to vote for us. So many other incredible businesses were up for this award, we are so thankful”.

Celebrating its third birthday this month, the company creates modern, emotive and engaging videos for a range of clients and now operates on a global scale. In December 2022 STP launched their own Christmas advert, a thought-provoking, emotive piece which won the hearts of many, addressing the topical theme, ‘Christmas is made not bought’. which amassed an incredible 25 million views in the first seven days and received worldwide attention.

The event, which aims to showcase the abundance of talent, courage and bravery in the region, was hosted by Christa Ackroyd, with the winners chosen by members of the public.
