Everyman Media Group plc (known as Everyman Cinemas) is a cinema company based in London, England. [2]
The company was founded in 2000, when entrepreneur Daniel Broch bought the original Everyman Cinema in Hampstead, London, which dated to 1933, which before then was a theatre. Broch led the growth of the company with the acquisition in 2008 of Screen Cinemas to add more locations. This coincided with Broch selling a majority stake in the enlarged company, though he remains a shareholder. [3]
The group is extending its operating area and has opened cinemas in northern England. The first of these opened in Leeds in April 2013 as part of the Trinity Leeds development in the city centre [4] and a second opened within The Mailbox in Birmingham on 27 February 2015. [5] A further cinema opened in Harrogate in September 2016. In April 2015, the company reached an agreement to buy four cinemas from its larger rival Odeon for £7.1 million. [6]
In August 2013, The Guardian reported that the entire non-management staff of about 100 was employed on zero-hour contracts, earning just above the minimum wage, and without any guaranteed set hours each week. [7]
Everyman Cinemas offer a programme of films and special events, including the Metropolitan Opera from New York and the National Theatre (in selected cinemas), live Q&As, film festivals and seasons. [8] The venues each feature a licensed bar, food, digital projection and surround sound technology. [9]
