About Us:
Aardman, based in Bristol (UK) and co-founded in 1976 by Peter Lord and David Sproxton, is an independent and multi-award-winning studio. It produces feature films, series, advertising, interactive entertainment and attractions for both the domestic and international market. Their productions are novel, entertaining, brilliantly characterised and full of charm reflecting the unique talent, energy and personal commitment of the Aardman team. The studio’s work is often imitated and yet the company continues to lead the field producing a rare brand of visually stunning content for cinema, broadcasters, digital platforms and live experiences around the world.
In November 2018, Aardman became an Employee Owned organisation, ensuring that the studio remains independent and securing the creative legacy and culture of the company for the future.
Working at Aardman:
At Aardman we strive to continue producing and distributing the best character animation that we can, through imagination, independence and investment. We seek to recruit, attract and retain the right people, with the right skills, at the right time. Recruiting and retaining talented people is essential to our long-term creativity, productivity and quality… this is where you come in…
You will learn from the best there are and work in a dynamic & creative environment where the company co-founders are very much at the heart of the business. You’ll be part of a team of people passionate about the work we produce & you’ll be part of something amazing! Because we’re still quite small, you’ll get opportunities to work across different parts of the business when those opportunities arise & we’re always keen to grow people’s talent & expertise – in fact, a lot of our most senior people started out at the bottom & are still learning years later!

Our Diversity & Inclusion Charter is our commitment to building a workforce that is truly reflective of society, underpinned by the belief that a diverse and inclusive workforce is essential in delivering on our mission: to create entertainment for all and to be the most inspirational animation company in the world. We welcome applications from all individuals and are always happy to discuss flexible working needs. Aardman is proud to be both a Disability Confident Employer and a Living Wage Employer.
