Originally part of the Prestwich Group, based in New Southgate, London, it was subject to a management buyout headed by Steve Ayres as CEO and Paddy Toomey (ex-Woolworths) as MD. The vision of "Sell Through Video" was born with the strong Woolworths association driving the retail sales. After becoming a standalone company the following year, The Video Collection would go on to become the largest home video distributor in the United Kingdom. They also operated two European divisions - Vídeo Colección, S.A. in Spain, Vidéo Collection France in France, as well as Strand VCI Entertainment/Strand Home Video in North America (sold in 1994 to The Handleman Company). The Video Collection was commonly allied with ITV and Channel 4, and distributed many of their titles from their franchises; they also operated the Cinema Club budget label.The Video Collection was commonly allied with ITV and Channel 4, and distributed many of their titles from their franchises; they also operated the Cinema Club budget label. The company was renamed to Video Collection International in 1994 due to financial difficulties (the name change was applied on-screen the following year), and in 1999 the company was sold to the Kingfisher group. Kingfisher demerged the company into the Woolworths Group in July 2001. In July 2004, The Woolworths Group announced to form a joint-venture partnership with BBC Worldwide (BBC Video) known as 2 Entertain, in-which both their home video units would merge into. The deal was completed in September 2004 and Video Collection International was renamed as such; however, the VCI logo continued to be used on the packaging of DVDs and VHS until June 2005, and on-screen in September 2005. 2 Entertain is a British music and video publisher, founded in September 2004, following a merger between BBC Video and Video Collection International, with the latter being renamed to 2 Entertain Video; however, the VCI logo continued to be used on the packaging of DVDs and VHS until June 2005, and on-screen in September 2005 and BBC continued to self distribute releases until September 2005, when VCI's on-screen logo was replaced by 2 Entertain's logo and the then-new label started to distribute BBC releases. For its first two years, they retained the Cinema Club label, which was used for low cost releases, while their label would be used for full cost releases. BBC Worldwide owned 60% of the company until 2010, when the company purchased The Woolworth Group's share of 40%. In May 2012, BBC Home Entertainment started to self distribute releases. As a result, the 2 Entertain name is now used on occasional non-BBC releases. Strand VCI Entertainment was the North American division of Video Collection International (then known as The Video Collection). It distributed special interest and children's videos. The company was launched in 1988 but didn't release anything until January 1990. In 1992, the company was renamed Strand Home Video that distributed special interest and children's videos. In December 1993, the company was acquired by the Handleman Group, and in 1994 was absorbed into Video Treasures. Lets reaching 3000 Subcribers (Before 2024 end!)
