A Hertfordshire video team, based in Stevenage
Pearldrop is a video production company based in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. We film company profiles, events and awards, charity appeals, training films and live streams for organisations across the county. We've been doing it since 2010.
We're proud patrons of the Hertfordshire Chamber of Commerce. We film at the Herts County Show, and we make films for Hertfordshire County Council and the borough councils of Stevenage, Dacorum, Broxbourne and Welwyn Hatfield. Our charity clients include Herts Young Homeless and YMCA Chiltern Group. Whichever part of the county you're in, we've probably filmed nearby.
Every project comes with a dedicated project manager and a crew that knows Hertfordshire's venues, roads and people. The approach never changes: understand what you need to say, then make a film that says it well.

Trusted across Hertfordshire
Patrons of the Hertfordshire Chamber of Commerce
We support the county's business community as Chamber patrons, and we film and photograph its flagship events. Those include the Inspiring Herts Awards, the Women in Leadership Conference, the Summer Party and the annual Golf Day.
The Inspiring Hertfordshire Awards
We provided a live feed to the big screens on the night, pre-recorded films to open the ceremony, a highlights film and event photography. Read the case study.
The Herts County Show
Each year we're at the Hertfordshire County Showground in Redbourn, capturing the main ring, exhibitors and crowds for the organisers. Big outdoor events take planning: crowds, livestock, weather and tight running orders. We've done it before.
Hertfordshire County Council
For the council's Healthy Body Healthy Mind campaign, we filmed twelve 20-minute HIIT workouts with firefighters from Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. We shot them in engine bays across the county, then recorded twelve interviews about looking after your mental health. Read the case study.
Borough councils across the county
We work with Stevenage Borough Council, Dacorum Borough Council, Broxbourne Borough Council and Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council on public information films, regeneration and town-centre campaigns, and civic events. Public-sector work brings its own requirements: accessibility, subtitles, consent and sign-off chains. We build them in from the start.
Hertfordshire charities and businesses
We've told the stories of young people supported by Herts Young Homeless, filmed Age UK Hertfordshire's befriending volunteers and made films for YMCA Chiltern Group. In Stevenage we produced a video series showcasing the town's start-ups and scale-ups, as covered by The Comet.
