The company said the space "will be used as a production studio for film, TV and video both by Zút and other production companies looking to film in the Liverpool area".

Mark Hancock, managing director at Zút, added: "As a company we have grown significantly in recent years and likewise so has the scale of the projects we undertake for clients.

"Acquiring this new studio space will be a great asset for us, providing a perfect setting for our larger commissions, as well as other production companies looking to film in the area.

"Liverpool is more popular than ever as a filming destination and brings with it a lot of investment in local ancillary services, so it will be great to see some of this investment coming to Knowsley, being from the area."

Group portfolio manager Carol Stollery added: "It is an extremely exciting and dynamic business and we are delighted that Overbrook Lane is to become a hub for creative activity, which will undoubtedly benefit both Knowsley and the wider region."

JLL represented Eric Wright Group on the letting. Ruth Leighton, a leasing director at the property firm, said: "Overbrook Lane offers excellent space, bolstered by its strong location and accessibility."
