Adel Rawlinson from Web Potential said: "Knowing the reputation The Pie Factory has as an epicentre of media creativity, we welcome this move as an exciting step forward for Web Potential Ltd. The majority of the work we do is for the internet and taking into account the explosion in online video this is an area of the business we are keenly focusing upon. The Pie Factory has some real attractions for us as a company housing some of the largest green screens in the country and with the development of MediaCityUK it's a great place for us to be! We see the move a positive one with a view to growing the business to new heights".
