Colada Creative review
Researched for Drone photographers in Telford

Trading as Colada Group Ltd · Unit 28 Business Development Centre, Stafford Park 4, Telford, Shropshire, TF3 3BA · Service area: Telford
Colada Creative in short
Colada Creative is a Telford video and content studio working from Stafford Park, offering branded storytelling, commercials, event films, animation and live streaming. The company behind the name is COLADA GROUP LTD, active since winter 2018. For a buyer who wants one studio to own a whole production, that full-house range is the appeal.
Drone footage already appears in the delivered client work: a case study for an industrial client describes drone footage shot inside and outside its facilities. Photography sits beside video on the services page, with phone, email and enquiry-form contact routes. No prices, insurance details or CAA registration appear anywhere on the site.
Customers across the single source we hold rate the studio highly: the Google listing carries a headline rating of five out of five from eighty-five reviews. That is the deepest review base among all twelve firms researched. Read the reviews beside the portfolio, remembering they cover brand films rather than standalone drone hire.
Our judgement leaves Colada Creative a strong production choice held back by one gap: with no CAA operator registration stated, it sits outside our ranked table, which requires the registration behind drone work to be sourced. For a brand film where aerial shots are one ingredient, the studio record speaks well. A claimed listing with the paperwork added would change the picture.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Colada suits you if you want an established Telford studio to own a brand film end to end, with drone footage already in its client work [2] [4] [5]. The gaps sit in paperwork: no CAA registration, no insurance details and no published prices. Its Google record reads 5.0 from 85 reviews [7].
Score summary
We researched this provider but have not scored it, because it did not meet one of our eligibility requirements.
G3 · No CAA operator registration is stated on the website; the portfolio shows drone footage without a CAA claim [4], and the CAA public pages give no business-name search [6].

Questions about Colada Creative
Is Colada Creative any good?
On the evidence, yes for brand films: it holds eighty-five top-mark Google reviews, the deepest base in the field, and its portfolio already carries drone footage for industrial clients. The studio range runs from commercials to live streaming. The gap is drone paperwork rather than craft. A showreel with the CAA position named is the thing to compare.
Is Colada Creative registered with the CAA?
No CAA operator registration is stated anywhere on the studio's site, although the portfolio shows drone footage without a CAA claim. That means the registration cannot be sourced from the website or the public pages checked. This is why the studio sits outside the ranked table. A claimed listing naming the registration would change the picture.
What does Colada Creative charge?
It publishes no call-out fee, hourly rate, price list or VAT position, so enquiries go through the contact form with costs emerging after discussion. Brand productions vary too much for menu pricing. Shoot days with crew needs shape the first estimate. Send the concept, the shoot days and the finished films you need. An itemised fixed quote is the thing to compare.
Where does Colada Creative work?
The studio works from Stafford Park in Telford and serves the town with client work across the wider region. Industrial and commercial briefs suit that base. Stafford Park keeps briefings close to the studio floor. Location shoots further afield are a question for the enquiry. Send your postcode and shoot locations with the brief to confirm cover.
How do I get a quote from Colada Creative?
Quotes run through the enquiry form, phone or email on the studio's site. Send the concept, the dates and what the finished production must include, from brand story to aerial sequences. The portfolio pages show the standard to expect. An itemised production quote with dates is the response to look for.
What do the reviews say about Colada Creative?
The Google record shows eighty-five reviews at the top mark, which is exceptional depth for a local studio. The reviews cover video and content work rather than drone hire alone. Industrial clients feature among the reviewer mix. No second platform carries the firm. Read several in full, then set them beside the portfolio case studies.
How does Colada Creative compare with the others in the round?
It sits outside the ranked six over missing CAA paperwork rather than weak craft. Against the ranked agencies it brings deeper reviews and a fuller production house. Shropshire Creative Agency answers with stated CAA approval inside a smaller review base. Its edge is production depth; its gap is the unstated registration.
How is Colada Creative ranked?
It is not ranked. The studio was researched to the same depth but sits outside the table because no CAA operator registration is stated anywhere on its site. It can claim its listing and send the missing paperwork for reassessment in the next round. Its review reads best beside the ranked six.
