“Some of my formative experiences with audio production were with Nick and he taught me so much about the potential power of audio. He’s a legendary figure in the world of radio media and has won many coveted awards for his clients. A true professional who has the confidence from directing some of the world's legendary actors and always getting the very best from them. It's ironic that most people outside of the advertising bubble have never heard of him…but they’ve certainly heard his work.”

Oh, and he’s a jolly nice chap to boot.“

Adrian Kemsley, Creative Director – Holiday Extras

"Nick has that rare talent to blend technical mastery and creative excellence with a deep understanding of his clients and the brief. He partners with creative teams and clients to make work that meets the brief, no matter how large or small scale the work is and he is able to get the absolute best out of any talent he works with. Aside from all this, Nick's long experience means he also has an uncanny ability to make being locked in a dark room for a day somehow feel fun, exhilarating and enjoyable."

Ant Clarke Cowell, Associate Brand Director – Holiday Extras

“Working with Nick is an absolute delight! He brings our creative alive, with craft, passion and experience, and is always there for us throughout the process, from advice on scripting, casting and masterfully co-ordinating the recording sessions, right through to the final mix. We look forward to working on many more campaigns together in the future.”

Julia Thomas, Account Director – One Design Agency

"I don't know anyone who understands the medium of voice and sound better. From motivating actors, to making magic with the timings, to rediscovering what the script was all about in the first place...Nick just gets it. In the studio, it is sometimes like watching a conductor at work, coaxing out the right performance and making it better than you ever hoped for. All of which is achieved with characteristic brightness and charm. Can't wait for the next job together."

Mark Fiddes, Consulting Creative Director at Fiddes

“OMG! Where do I begin? Nick is simply an industry icon. He's been my go-to sound master craftsman for literally decades. From award-winning radio spots back in the day (which people still remember), to up-to-the-second podcasts, mixing and balancing voices, finding and finessing the music and sfx, and making creative suggestions that improve the integrity of your work. Let me put it like this, if you've ever been chauffeur driven anywhere, you know how you sit back and relax, and you just know the driver will get you exactly where you want to go via his recommended route - and you know you'll always arrive looking like a star. That's what it's like working with Nick.”

Tom Gattos, Co Founder of the Rainbow Lottery

“Over a longer period than I care to remember, I’ve worked with sound engineers and designers on both sides of the Atlantic, in France, Spain, Germany and South Africa. Nick is the best I ever worked with. Assume you want something ridiculous; like the sound of a shoelace being tied. Nick will think it through, drag something from left field, play it, and it will work. Guaranteed.

Assume you are trying to coax a performance from a recalcitrant 8-year-old proto-thesp. When most of us would strangle the little sod, Nick will get the performance. Assume you don’t have enough budget or enough time or you can’t get the artistes you want. Go to Nick - he will make it happen. ”

John Bacon, Creative Expert and Copywriter Extraordinaire

“Nick is a true professional in the radio industry. He worked with us on The Week’s first radio campaign in several years and the process from end to end was slick, high quality and thoroughly enjoyable. Nick worked with us in a transparent and collaborative way which delivered a top quality output. I’d highly recommend Nick and he’ll be our first port of call for all radio requirements from this point forwards.”

Lucy Davis, Marketing Director – Current Affairs – Dennis Publishing

“I have had the pleasure of knowing (and working) with Nick for some 20+ years now. Through his 40 or so years in the engineer's chair at his previous, much lauded company Angell Sound, he has been the creative conduit in a multitude of esteemed advertising campaigns in TV and radio. During this career, he has carved out the moniker as the 'go to' agency choice for voice direction.

Nick is renowned in the industry for his ability to coax from an actor a performance that sometimes even the actor didn't know they had in them!

At the initial brief, Nick's insight and vision can mould and stretch the idea, to lift the creative from simple words and references on a page, to weave in an extra layer of prestige that any brand desires. Nuances, subtleties that elevate the craft and finesse, that can so easily be lacking these days. Creating some epic campaigns at the mixing desk over those years, combined with his acoustically tuned ear, Nick gained an undeniable reputation for taking any project to the next level. Whatever the project goal - be it polish, high acoustic standards, V/O performance or script/dialogue editing; I couldn't recommend Nick enough. His experience, loyal clients and awards are testament to this.”

Danny Etherington, MD of Creative Outpost

“Nick is conscientious, thorough and fun. He is an utterly safe pair of hands.”
