Abbey Home Media

Background
Abbey Home Media was a British home entertainment company, formed on March 4, 2002, by Ian Miles, and his wife, Anne, shortly after its predecessor, Abbey Home Entertainment, was folded into Just Entertainment and the latter filed for administration. AHM acquired the home video division of Just, in addition to all ex-AHE assets and units, including Tempo Pre-School.

The company continued to release home media up until March 16, 2020, when it was announced by the company's social media pages and website that the company had ceased operations due to "uncertain circumstances", following the death of Anne Miles, the company's co-founder, on May 4, of the same year (her husband, Ian, passed away prior to his wife's death). The company was fully dissolved on December 13, 2022. Their assets are currently owned by other companies.
