As we marvelled at the hills full of hobbit residences, walked through Bilbo Baggins’s home of “Bag End’, and drank at the Green Dragon Inn, one could have been forgiven for thinking this all came about purely by creative genius and a lot of dedicated set workers and design craftsmen.

Employment, Financial, Safety, Resources, Contracts – the list goes on.
In the same way, the creative genius and dedicated work of all who work across our SCEA sites require clear policies and workable processes.
