Our Crew | Sound Credit TV

Mark Nicholls (Director / Owner)

Not met Mark before? – He’s the loud one – most certainly you’ll hear him long before you see him!

Mark started his career at BBC TV Centre, receiving the classic TV training at Wood Norton and the best internship working on all Auntie’s favourites.

Mark left the BBC in ’92 for the BSB sports channel, then moved on to freelancing and excelled at technical management and sound supervisor roles.

Although from Liverpool Mark is famously not a huge football or sports fan, but nevertheless has enjoyed working on all the big events.
What is it you like most about working for the multi-million live sports business Mark?……..

Mark is the familiar friendly face at the big games and oversees technical delivery with flair for TV companies all round the world.

Mark is rarely seen in the office!

Simon Coles (Director / Owner)

Simon is the founder of SCTV and has taken the business from his garden shed to two modest sized industrial units on one simple philosophy: take whatever’s going and execute to the best of ability!

Simon started his career in sound broadcasting at ITV and Channel 4. He worked on The Big Breakfast, This Morning and lots of shows involving gunging children and creating silly noises! He is also well known in sports broadcasting and has travelled the world for ITV Sport as technical producer on their biggest tournaments.

With the help of Mark & Ant, Simon gently steers SCTV and sets a culture of hard work, outstanding performance and excellent customer service.

His proudest achievement by far is recruiting and mentoring an amazing friendly team who love and excel at what they do.

Ant Sprung (Tech Manager, Director & Owner)

Ant is really very good at anything technical.
He won’t admit to that – but yes he is.

Ant is at home with cameras, sound, editing, post production, set, light & directing – the full pink banana as they say in showbiz!

Quite how he learned all this is unclear – he says he once worked in Hollywood*. Clearly that’s not true – but here’s what we do know…

His broadcast career began in Canada, lots of fun doing cameras and sound, working at everything from ice hockey to significant documentaries.

Back in the UK in ’96 Ant was Head of Sound at Planet 24 on The Big Breakfast, mixing this busy show and adding his own creativity. That was the morning’s work – afternoons were spent managing audio post production and editing facilities.

After ‘the brekky’ Ant joined SCTV to develop our outside broadcast and web streaming business and was made a director and owner for his always excellent work.

Ant is the man for friendly, sage advice on big projects, conferences or outside broadcasts. He will plan and execute your event to the highest of standards.

* He probably took a work call while on the bus in Beverley Hills ….!

Daniel Sophianos (Engineer & IT lead)

Dan is our ridiculously clever man.

He’s a Ravensbourne graduate broadcast engineer and speaks fluent information technology to boot!

Dan is our lead resource for all the really difficult system design and integration jobs that are slightly scary to the rest of us.

He’s also found backstage at our bigger events, just quietly and expertly making stuff work.

Thanks Dan!
