True North Productions is an independent British television production company based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom. The company creates factual programmes and series in a wide variety of genres, including observational documentary, crime, current affairs, history, wildlife, food, property, and children's for broadcast by television networks in the UK, US and China.
Its programmes have been sold via distributors to broadcasters throughout the world and as a result have been screened in numerous countries, including but not limited to the United States, Australia, Russia, and Africa.
The company was established in 2002 by Jess Fowle, Glyn Middleton and Andrew Sheldon, three producers and directors who had previously worked for Yorkshire Television's documentaries department. They chose the company name as a way of highlighting its northern roots.
In June 2011, True North won three prizes at the Royal Television Society Yorkshire Awards, for Best Terrestrial Programme (Stealing Shakespeare), Best Non-Terrestrial Programme (Britain’s Underworld) and for Independent Production Company of the Year – the latter for the third year in a row.
