Capital boss quits as Soho beckons

Article Abstract:

Capital Studios' Managing Director Catherine Spruce said she is quitting her job so she could return to post-production work in Soho. Spruce explained she has accomplished her brief and has a wish to return to her first love by September 1998. She said she is currently making arrangements for deals with two or three unidentified post-production firms. Spruce said her resignation is not related to a case involving the constructive dismissal of sound engineer Steve Morell. Broadcasting union Bectu brought the matter before the industrial tribunal in October 1998 but the case was dismissed.
