Our Culture
We're creative (standard). We're honest and open. A swear jar would bankrupt us all. We're all equal and we laugh at ourselves...and each other. We're unconventional, productive and we do whatever it takes to get the job done. We like burgers (meat, veggie and vegan). We always make time for each other and our clients. We live and breathe audio. We're all very different and we love that about our team. We like going to the pub...a lot. We praise each other and recognise achievements. We don't quit, we fix. We're kind and caring. We make a difference. We stick together and pick each other up when it's needed. We're people pleasers. We like to dance. We say please and thank you. We're passionate and motivated. We always leave our clients feeling good.

Paul Golliker
Co-Founder & Director
Paul has worked in audio for longer than he cares to remember, but he still loves it and the way it’s evolved to remain an integral part of our day. From Spotify to audiobooks, radio to podcasts audio continues to provide the soundtrack to our life. When he’s not at work Paul likes to be outdoors on his bike.
-
Seb Juviler
Co-Founder & Director
To Seb, sound represents a direct line to the core of human emotion. The right sound at the right moment can be more powerful than any visual. Like the sound of his three-year-old son when he can't find the socks he wants in the morning.
-
Charlotte Hill
PA to Directors
Charlotte loves to organise other people’s lives but struggles when it comes to her own! A proud Essex girl, there are two things she does every day without fail, write out her to do lists and top up her fake tan.
-
Adam Devenney
Audiobook Producer / Editor
When you say music, I say Adam! Why? Because the two are inseparable. Before his degree in Music Technology, Adam spent his younger years playing in (all of) rural Ireland's bands.
Since then, he's had quite a career, from a publishing deal as a musician/songwriter to recording an album in the same studio use by Queen, Oasis and Coldplay.... before a role in audio brought to the other side of the glass. But don't worry - he's still making beats in his downtime when he's not busy skating or petting every dog in sight.
-
Adam Kurucz
Lead Front End Developer
In space no one can hear you scream. Adam has watched Alien 54,112 times. And that's such a specific number it must be true. He enjoys the creativity that front end development brings. He's a particular specialist at web animations, having studied software engineering.
-
Alistair Bolt
Sound Engineer
He might look unwell but don’t worry, Alistair has just been working on his gorgeous pasty white ‘studio tan’. All part of the job. A youth spent in HMV has left him with a fairly expansive CD collection and he had a minor hit in Brazil with a Daft Punk / Eye of the Tiger mashup.
-
Andre Harry
Lead Developer
Andre wants to know what you're listening to. He spends his days snooping through tastes and trends on Spotify, pairing algorithms with his coding creations. Convenient really, considering he's spent all his time on Spotify already.
-
Andrew Lane
Head of Customer Success
Andrew loves the smell of paintballs in the morning. When he's not concerned about your strategic battlefield position he'll be strategising your project. Either way he’ll definitely be asking who you're captaining this week in fantasy football.
-
Ben Bell
Sound Engineer & Composer
Ben's musical talents are admirable. Not only did his DJing skills kick off the night at a Vengaboys concert, but he also hosted some very successful Reggae Nights at a Carribean restaurant, where he also discovered that after-dinner mints send him into a sneezing fit.
Tissues aside, it's no wonder he's been changing the face of the audio industry as a Sound Engineer for over 15 years and has mastered over 200 UK Number 1 Albums. Impressed? So was Gary Barlow who cheekily gave him not one, but two kisses via email.
Saucy.
-
Ben Nagle-Rose
Front End Developer
Ben might be a front end developer now, but if you dig a little deeper you’ll find out he was once an archaeologist, specialising in human bones and teeth.
He also says he’s watched nearly every cinema release over past 10 years.
Which means he’s sat through the entirety of The Emoji Movie. At Red Apple we admire that kind of dedication. (You ok Ben?)
-
Chandima Nethisinghe
Project Manager
Whether it’s gearing up for a half marathon or climbing Machu Pichu, it’s safe to say that Chandy gets a lot done in her spare time - and when it comes to work, she takes it to the next level.
She’s launched a luxury perfume brand, helped develop an app for a sonar fishing gadget, and worked with a famous dating guru to help hundreds of singles find their perfect match - at Red Apple, we’ve definitely found ours.
-
Chloe McLaren
Audio Producer
Chloe may love the Queen, but we're bigger fans of her #queen behaviour - like buying a car just because the licence plate ended in "CLO".
With decisive thinking like that, it's no wonder Chloe's come a long way from her first job stringing tennis racquets. She's spent years in creative teams, and has even taken her skills to Edinburgh Fringe - plus, if you count dangling someone into a toilet while they look for their phone, she's taken them to Glastonbury, too!
-
Chris Stowell
Commercial Director
Chris believes in 5 cake ingredients for success: Stability, Growth, Collaboration, Creativity, Fun, which wouldn’t taste nice at all, but it does sound like the recipe for success.
Once a prize winning ballroom dancer, Chris has 15 years of media experience, contacts and awards under his sequinned belt, so no wonder he waltzed through his interview.
He loves nothing more than visiting a country pub (drinking), exploring a vineyard in South Africa (drinking) or playing a round of golf (drinking). Cheers Chris.
-
Grace Mahony
Account Coordinator
Whether they’re ploughing through a sci-fi page turner or shouting at the TV screen, it’s fair to say that Grace loves a good story. It’s no surprise then that they’ve got a few to tell themselves, like fostering four cats (four!), and mixing with celebs at a Broadway opening night. And while we’re not as glamorous as Vanessa Hudgens, we’re glad Grace is part of our story now.
-
Holly Williams
Audio Project Manager
Holly may have joined Red Apple’s U.S. team, but don’t let that fool you - she’s a sucker for all things British. From studying in London to meeting George Ezra, Holly’s always found herself drawn across the pond.
And to think it’s all thanks to a few (hundred) viewings of The Parent Trap! No wonder she’s been writing her own movies since she was 12.
-
Jaroslaw Jasinski
Senior Back End Developer
An avid snowboarder, Jarek likes nothing more than to hit the slopes on a winter holiday break. He has a degree in Computer Science which lead him in to this industry. Along with his dad he’s an active Racing Pigeon Fancier. Which is a much cooler title than Back end developer.
-
John Hale
Senior Creative
We know John is here at Red Apple to shake things up, because one of the first things he told us is that he can split an apple in half with his bare hands.
If that wasn’t hard-core enough (pun intended), in his distinguished career so far John has recorded a binaural sex scene (for which he won a very tasteful Cannes Lion), he’s been chased in a helicopter for a brief, and once sat in on plastic surgery to better understand a client. What can we say? We found that kind of dedication to the cause very a-peel-ing.
-
Josh Calimlim
Account Coordinator
Even though he was born and raised in Manila, Josh is East Coast through and through, splitting his free time between Yankees and Knicks games. Having said that, it's a wonder he's had any free time at all. Before joining Red Apple, he was juggling two part-time jobs on top of a full-time medical degree - a far cry from his days serving celebs in Miami Beach. Lucky for us, he chose to settle down. Welcome to the team, Josh!
-
Joss Bibby
Senior Art Director
A man of cultured tastes, Joss enjoys modern art, record shops, and DJing. He’s also a fan of sci-fi films, and is himself from the far-flung galaxy of Huddersfield.
-
Justyna Kawala
Finance Manager
Justyna loves to find ways to be more efficient every day and it all starts with getting the figures right. To her, finance is fun and exciting and it won't be long until she's an ACCA qualified accountant. Her childhood dream was to be an astronaut, but the numbers didn't stack up.
-
Karen Errington
Finance Director
If you look after the pennies the pounds will save themselves. When Karen isn't tending to her spreadsheets she's lavishing the same care and attention on her two-year-old Cockapoo, Yogi. But on a Friday, her favourite companion is a perfectly mixed Cosmo.
-
Kathleen Moroney
Executive Creative Director
Whether it’s a new project or her hair, Kathleen sees a blank canvas to be filled with colour. She approaches everything with bravery, which is probably why she walked out of her interview at Red Apple Creative! Fortunately, she stuck around to share her unique creative outlook.
-
Lauren Pacheco
Accounts Executive
Lauren is a keen baker which is great news for all the cake fans at Red Apple. However, she also likes trying new things and pushing boundaries… so, tuna and chocolate cake anyone? Even if her bakes are questionable, with her passion for processes, Lauren is the perfect ingredient for a successful Finance Team.
-
Luca Casazza
Art Director
Sleep is just a hindrance for Luca, he's always looking to make something new or make something better. He's played in hardcore bands and brings boundless energy to his work. He drew his first comic book aged 9 and hasn't stopped creating since.
-
Luke McPeake
Sound Engineer
Da-dum…
Not only did dare devil Luke once swim in great white shark infested waters…
Da-dum…
He was also score sound designer for 2 feature films…
Da-dum… da-dum…
Plus in his younger days he was in a band…
Da-dum… da-dum… da-dum…
And his uncle was in a famous punk band, so you could say music is in his… BLOOD…
DAAAAAAAAAA.
Fin.
-
Marcella D'Aston
Customer Success Executive
Marcella likes to take a good idea and pair it with a bad joke to create a better idea. Spreadsheets aren't just a tool to her, they're a way of life. And if you remember one thing about her, it's that her cat is cuter than your cat.
-
Matt Wicks
Marketing Manager
When it comes to audio, Matt’s all in. His love for making playlists led him to create an elaborate system for finding new music - we’re waiting for the patent to drop any day now. But while his previous career as a professional denim-folder may have left him with an organised streak, don’t think he’s predictable. He’s a season ticket holder and volunteer at a Division 9 football team, a keen dog-spotter and a pub quiz champion. He was also pictured next to a certain prince in a certain section of a certain newspaper, but that’s another story...
-
Melissa Ruzicki
Audio Project Manager
Melissa brings a whole lot of confidence to the team: from serving in Desert Storm and moving 20 times in the last 30 years, to performing as Madonna on a cruise ship.
She has a steamy background in when it comes to audio, having listened to hundreds of erotic audiobooks.... For work, of course.
-
Michael Pender
Senior Audiobook Post Production Manager
Michael’s audio skills will take your breath away. And we mean that literally: he works with audio to remove noise and breaths, before mastering every piece of work to perfection, and delivering it to clients in its optimal state. His talent for fixing things doesn’t stop there; he’s also pretty handy when it comes to trucks and buses, thanks to his training as a mechanic in the family business back in Ireland.
-
Nicola Alexandrou
Audiobook Production Manager
Niki has been in radio since her student days. The only thing that rivals her love of radio, is her passion for film, of which she co-hosts a radio show about. Synergy. She's an expert plate spinner, metaphorically speaking, making sure campaigns run smoothly in every department.
-
Ollie Burton
Account Manager
Ollie’s a man of many talents.
When it comes to sport, you can find him dodging seagulls at a Brighton game, or dodging tackles at a friendly 5-a-side.
He also knows his way around a kitchen, serving food to everyone from Olympic athletes in 2012 to his girlfriend’s Spanish nan in 2021. Luckily, the croquetas were up to her standards.
And let’s not forget audio. A passionate saxophonist who’s even played in steel bands, his passion for music is matched only for his passion for winning new campaigns. Take it away, Ollie!
-
Pierce Tully
Creative
Pierce is amongst the most artistically-minded members of the audio team. He switched from Business to English at university because he thought it would be more ‘arty’; and since then, he’s let artistry of storytelling guide his life; he chose a path in advertising thanks to Mad Men, is obsessed with Shrek, and - according to some - bears a passing resemblance to Sid from Ice Age.
-
Robert Baker
Head of Engineering
Rob Baker a.k.a DJ Bobbie Rainbow a.k.a the person it took four people to un-wedge from a staircase at university. He's an internationally selling artist, present tense, that's right! Australasia can't get enough of his Christmas library tracks.
-
Rosie O'Dowd
Audiobooks Producer / Editor
Rosie arrived via, Dublin, Belfast and then Paris - though it’s lucky she found her way here at all, given her love of out of date travel books. Having recorded 100s of audiobooks she can subsequently be found muttering strange vocabularies. With that kind of experience, let’s hope she doesn’t absquatulate any time soon. When she’s not hard at work, you’ll find Rosie on exciting train journeys, reading wonderfully miserable Irish literature, enjoying world cinema or in the cheap seats at the theatre.
-
Sam Dillon
Head of Production
Sam is part of the furniture. He’s spent 10 years watching the team grow into an amazing group. He's also a prolific voiceover artist himself and some have even called him a poor man's James Corden, which he's fine with.
-
Zoe Dale
Head of Audiobooks
Zoe has had a life that so exciting that it could easily belong to a character in one of the audiobooks she produces. She began her career with a passion for drama and stories, working as a dresser at the Lincoln Theatre Royal. She then went out into the world to make some stories of her own: working for a jewellery family in Rome, going to Paris to discover her calling as a writer, and then returning to London to discover the power of audio through her work with the RNIB. She has a passion for recording audiobooks that unite, educate and entertain. And watch this space, because her ambition is to write her own book, and produce the audio version.
