BBRK was created in the early 70's by David Bill, David Butt, Peter Richardson and Geoffery Kirkland
They rented three sound stages within Shepperton studios and created thousands of sets over the course of 20 years.
Alan Parker, Ridley and Tony Scott Hugh Hudson, David Bailly, Lester Bookbinder were a few of their many clients.
