About

Matthew Newnham Productions

Matthew Newnham Productions is an international creative and communications group operating across the United Kingdom, United States, and South Africa. The company serves as the umbrella organisation behind multiple creative, educational, and storytelling-led platforms, including Space Ranger Fred, Matt Newnham Author, MattNewnham.co.uk, and Menturity™.

Founded by British author and storyteller Matt Newnham, the group combines children’s publishing, animation development, corporate storytelling, educational outreach, leadership communication, and strategic creative projects under one connected vision: using stories and communication to help people understand, engage, learn, and grow.

The company is best known as the production force behind the growing Space Ranger Fred universe, a children’s franchise expanding across books, animation, gaming, and educational media. Alongside this, MattNewnham.co.uk provides professional freelance writing, corporate storytelling, and communication services for organisations seeking clearer messaging and stronger narrative direction.

At the centre of the group’s philosophy is Menturity™, a story-led readiness framework focused on helping people think, try, and discover they can. Through creativity, storytelling, and practical engagement, Menturity™ supports confidence, communication, curiosity, and problem-solving for both children and adults.

Matthew Newnham Productions works with an international network of writers, illustrators, animators, educators, composers, game developers, and creative partners. Current collaborations span animation production in South Africa, illustration and project management in the United States, and writing, music, and leadership development in the United Kingdom.

The group actively develops partnerships with schools, educational organisations, funders, broadcasters, publishers, licensors, and creative collaborators. Through storytelling, media, education, and communication, Matthew Newnham Productions exists to create ideas and experiences that connect imagination with real-world impact.
