<p>'''Video Collection International''' (formerly '''[[The Video Collection]]''') was a UK-based video company formed in 1984 and established in 1985. 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. The Video Collection was allied with [[ITV1 IDs|ITV]] and [[Channel 4]], and distributed many of their titles from their franchises; they also operated the [[Cinema Club]] budget label, as well as an American division, [[Strand Home Video]]. The company was renamed to '''VCI''' in 1994 due to financial difficulties, and in 1999 the company was sold to the Kingfisher group. In 2004, the company merged with [[BBC Video]] to form [[2 Entertain]].</p> | <p>'''Video Collection International''' (formerly '''[[The Video Collection]]''') was a UK-based video company formed in 1984 and established in 1985.
