Eagle Rock Entertainment was founded in April 1997 by Terry Shand, Geoff Kempin and Julian Paul, three former colleagues at Castle Communications, with capital coming from BMG.[1] It was later acquired by Edel Records and in 2001 entirely sold to the British investment company HgCapital for £34 million.[2] In 2007 a minority stake was re-acquired by Edel AG.[3] The Eagle Vision division was established in 2000. Eagle Rock Entertainment's headquarters are in London with offices in New York and affiliate offices around the world. In April 2014, Eagle Rock Entertainment was acquired by Universal Music Group.
