IVSaking the moves for chart success

Despite the vagaries of the independent distribution scene, 3MV has grown by leaps and bounds since it was launched five years ago. In that time it has been transformed from a strike force into a fully fledged sales, marketing and distribution outfit with a track record which is the envy of indie and major competitors alike. The UK charts over recent months stand as a testament to the %■*# company's rôle in the success of a € slew of acts from Oasis, The Boo Radleys and Echobelly to Strike, Maxx and Tony Di Bart. Such chart and sales triumphs have flowed from BMV's consolidation of business relationships with an impressive list of leading independent labels. Underscoring these are two partnerships - one with major Sony Music and the % other with vibrant indie distributor Vital - assuring its place at the forefront of UK independent distribution. Now the company enters the next phase of its development with the move from its base at Hillgate Place, south-west London, to new premises in Weston Street, across London Bridge from the City. The converted warehouse gives BMV larger storage and office space and one immédiate conséquence is an increase in the size of the company's telesales team. This supplément shows that the move is the final piece in the jigsaw enabling BMV to offer an unrivalled service to its A-list of UK independent labels.

" The pair were able to realise their ambitions for the company through the distribution agreement struck with Sony Music in April of that year. "Sony handles physical accounting and distribution of the labels, but we look after everything else," Trafford "Sony does not have a financial interest in 3MV, this is a standard five-year distribution agreement.
