Broadcast company looking at £7m turnover

SHEFFIELD broadcast and production company Televideo is projecting further growth this year after a £100,000 boost from Finance Yorkshire.

The company produces for major broadcasters including the BBC, Sky Sport, BT Sport and Channel 5.

Having been established in 1976, the company turned over £5m this year, and is planning on expanding its 55-strong workforce.

Televideo received a £100,000 Business Loan from Finance Yorkshire to acquire an uplink vehicle which so it can offer better outside broadcast and production facilities.

Managing director Paul Scivill explained: “The production and uplink vehicle means we can go anywhere and deploy a dish on top of the unit with a multi-camera operation to do live production rather than it being done from a studio.

“This means we can offer clients a more complete package – not only can we do the outside broadcast, we can deliver the content as well.”

Finance Yorkshire’s David Ward, said: “Televideo is a long established business with a great reputation for delivering high quality outside broadcast recording facilities to some of the biggest names in broadcasting.

“The company is well positioned with this latest broadcasting technology to grow further and create jobs.”
