One of the UK's leading TV and film set construction companies will occupy a major new studio hub. 

Design firm 4Wood said it had secured space at Birmingham’s Digbeth Loc Studios, created by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight and due to open this year. 

The site has been confirmed as the production base for a Peaky Blinders movie amid plans to grow the film industry in the city with 760 new jobs. 

It is also the future home of MasterChef and situated close to the BBC's new Midlands headquarters. 

Bosses at 4Wood said they wanted to take advantage of a convenient location for productions across the region.

The firm, located in Cardiff, was established in 2005 and was behind sets for Doctor Who's 60th anniversary episodes, including the new Tardis. 

Other recent productions include the BBC’s Lost Boys and Fairies, and ITVX’s The Winter King.

“We’ve been so impressed by the vision for Digbeth Loc and the calibre of productions that they are already beginning to attract," said managing director Graham Webb. 

"High-end TV, feature films and increasingly formatted shows are our sweet spot so this was too good of an opportunity to miss as we grow.”
