Noah Media Group has received a £2 million investment from a group of new backers in the technology, media, and sports sectors to support its future growth.

Founded six years ago by Chairman Barry Smith, CEO and producer John McKenna, and directors Gabriel Clarke and Torquil Jones, Noah Media Group is known for projects such as Finding Jack Charlton, Steve McQueen: The Man & Le Mans, Adam Hills: Take His Legs (aired on Channel 4 in the UK), and Bobby Robson: More Than a Manager (distributed internationally by Netflix).

The new investors include:

• Gareth Williams, former CEO of Skyscanner
• James Clayton, former President of XIX Entertainment
• Kevin Yorn, Hollywood entertainment lawyer
• David Rowan, former editor of WIRED magazine
• Mark Webber, multiple F1 Grand Prix-winning driver

Noah Media Group plans to use the investment to assemble a top-tier technology team. The company aims to develop a data-driven evaluation engine to help select films and series with greater precision, maximizing global distribution and commercial opportunities.

Additionally, the company will begin work on an end-to-end platform designed to increase transparency throughout the filmmaking process, covering finance, production, distribution, sales, marketing, and revenue collection. This platform is expected to be available for licensing to independent filmmakers in the future.

Barry Smith stated that the investment will enhance Noah Media Group’s evaluation processes, leading to improved production and distribution decisions. The goal is to reach larger audiences and increase profitability for independent filmmakers and financiers by targeting and expanding these audiences and creating content with broader international appeal.

John McKenna added that the funding will help the company make more informed decisions and continue delivering high-quality content for major streaming platforms, broadcasters, and sports organizations. He noted that this approach is unique among independent production companies at scale.

Gareth Williams, who is also a co-founder and investor, expressed his support for Noah Media Group’s efforts to bring new technology to the industry and address existing inefficiencies. He joins a group of experienced technology and media investors as the company enters its next phase of growth.
