About Us

We’re a production studio in Manchester, and we’ve been doing this for a while. Over 50 years if you're counting.

Photography, video, CGI, sets, styling, production and post-production all happen here, with a team that’s used to big briefs, tight turnarounds and figuring things out when plans inevitably change.

We like good work, sensible solutions and clients who feel like part of the team.

Our History

We have staying power.

We’ve been in the game for over 50 years, evolving with every shift in the creative landscape. In 2023, we rebranded from Refinery to Rig2, marking a new chapter in our commitment to innovation, adaptability, and staying ahead of the curve.

Trends change, tech moves fast, but we’ve built our reputation on delivering exceptional results, every time.

With Rig2, your brand’s vision is in experienced, forward-thinking hands.

We’ve built a dream team of creatives. Set builders, photographers, videographers, stylists, retouchers, and CGI artists – all working together seamlessly to bring your vision to life.

Our producers and account directors don’t just manage projects; they embed themselves in your brand, working as an extension of your team to deliver custom solutions that actually work.

careers

We’re a close team and we take the work seriously, without taking ourselves too seriously.

Producers, photographers, filmmakers, stylists, CGI artists, merch managers, set builders — there are plenty of different jobs behind what comes out of the studio.

If you’re good at what you do, curious about the rest and fancy working with us, send your CV to hello@rig2.co.uk.

Facilities

Right in the heart of Manchester, our 20,000 sq. ft creative space is built for productions of any scale.
