Christian Campbell

Senior Audit Manager

Lockside Media Services royalty processing expertise is second to none. They have helped us navigate complex royalty calculations and manage a large volume of royalty reports with precision and efficiency. I trust their knowledge and highly recommend their services.

John Richards

Chief Financial Officer

We at Neal Street Productions have been working with Ed for nearly 10 years now. He provides us with an invaluable service and is a complete pleasure to work with. His knowledge of Rights and Royalties is incredibly impressive.

Michael Cornelius & Milly Leigh

Chief Financial Officer & Head Of Production

Over the nearly 10 years that we’ve worked with Lockside Media Services, Ed has quietly become an irreplaceable part of Hartswood’s business. His technical expertise is unmatched as is the overall ‘Lockside’ service. We’re extremely lucky to have him working with us.

Debbie Vertue & Dan Cheesbrough

Director of Operations & Managing Director

Sit back and relax knowing that Ed is doing your residuals and royalty reporting promptly and accurately - but also interrogating the contracts and agreements to make sure you don’t pay too little (or too much!). I would thoroughly recommend using Lockside’s services
