Hilary Strong is stepping down as chief executive of John Gore Studios, the UK film and television production company founded by theatre impresario John Gore. The company says the change is tied to a planned restructuring that brings the UK business together with its U.S. sister company, The John Gore Organisation.
The outlets report that the move places both entities under a single holding company under John Gore’s leadership. Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter describe Gore taking executive responsibility for the combined operations, while Variety frames the announcement around creating common control to improve coordination between the two companies. The sources do not provide details on timing beyond that the businesses are “joining forces,” nor do they specify Strong’s next role.
Across the reporting, there is agreement on the key points: Strong leaves the CEO post; John Gore oversees the reorganization; and the UK and U.S. companies operate under the same corporate control as part of the group-wide realignment.
