Specialist Stock is a comprehensive collection of photo and footage libraries and a world leader on environmental themed content, which supplies to international broadcasters, publications and the education sector.
“We’re delighted to acquire this excellent collection two reasons. It gives us a leading edge in environmental and nature imagery and makes us a major player in video,” said Robert Harding.
The acquisition will mean that Robert Harding becomes an authority in themes such as global warming and green energy which will be central in the years to come, as well as kick starting the incorporation of footage into their collection, says the company.
It will also be a boost to Specialist Stock’s contributors, exposing their material to Robert Harding’s wide, well-established client base and strong international partner network.
Specialist Stock’s Director Tom Walmsley is confident that Robert Harding will allow this collection to grow further. “In a global market it needs a substantial company with an international reputation to do justice to this wonderful archive. I am confident that Robert Harding is the right company to help the collection reach wider audiences and become even better than it is today.”
Clients can access the Specialist Stock images and video via www.specialiststock.com as before, and the images will later be incorporated into Robert Harding’s main website: www.robertharding.com.
