In the East of England , just about tethered to the rest of the Country by a single stretch of tedious road , is the city of Norwich . The name , for many , summons up unflattering assumptions and preconceived notions - most commonly aligning Norwich as the land of the rising Partridge . However , what most don't know is that here undoubtedly a little adrift , Norwich is producing some of the most effective creative and digital work of the country .
For a 'sleepy' city, Norwich harbors so many companies that are leading the way in certain industries, innovating and pushing boundaries and all without having to face lengthy and tiresome commutes and intense work pressure of larger cities. For instance not many know that Norwich is home to EPIC Studios, one of the largest production and post production studios outside of London. Fully equipped with state of the art, full HD production and post capabilities, EPIC is poised to start producing digital shows with some real production quality. The studio has already resurrected geeky nostalgia show Knightmare for YouTube's Geek Week which included the original cast and local YouTube star Stuart Ashens.
Another hidden gem is FXHOME , a software company that makes professional photo and video editing software that is stirring things up in their profession .

Working with YouTube luminaries such as Corridor Digital and Freddie Wong the software company is aligning itself with an extremely unique and creative demographic that will stick with the successful new brand for years to come .
