I have been so very impressed with not only your work and brilliant can do attitude (dont blush) but all of the team. The dub, the online and the grade have been truly excellent in terms of professional to deal with, top of their game in craft and approach, kind, flexible and accommodating. All the professionals in your team are just that. And I'm really fussy so it's just been a delight to work with people where I've made almost no changes. Huge thanks all round.

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for getting us over the line on Your Garden Made Perfect...a little note from our BBC Commissioning Editor which specifically applies to the grade, but is echoes through the detail and finessing achieved with the online and the amazing soundscape… the show looks spectacular. The grade has done a phenomenal job – please do thank the colourist for me

The idea of delivering an HDR series to Amazon without stepping into a cutting room was somewhat daunting but Radiant made the entire experience seamless. The sound and pictures were, I’ve no doubt, the best they could possibly be thanks to Ben, Andy and their creative team. Working with them is always a pleasure but this time, they exceeded all expectations.

Rapid really exceeded all expectations I had for the two months I spent there. All the staff I encountered took great pride in their work and the company - they create such a positive and friendly atmosphere. The facilities themselves are flawless; support was always immediate and effective. I’d return in a heartbeat.

Few post houses combine homeliness with professionalism. Rapid gives both and more.
