Creativity takes personality. Get to know ours a little better.

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.

Meet the team

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.
Kayvan Moghaddassi

Co-Founder & Director

Kayvan loves the ever changing nature of the creative industry. Constantly on the look out for the next big tech development, he loves nothing more than seeing his amazing team bring ideas to life on a daily basis. A passion matched only by his love of Tottenham Hotspur.
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.
Aishah Amodu

Audio Production Manager

Aishah loves making lists. 1. Her favourite film is The Day After Tomorrow. 2. She’s a sugar junkie. 3. She taught herself how to knit. 4. She loves processes. 5.She started at Red Apple Creative as an intern and then came back to us after achieving a first class degree so she's a smart cookie.
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.
Andrew Lane

Senior Account Manager

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.
Barnaby Thornton

Audio Project Coordinator

Barnaby is proof that disobeying your parents pays off: he landed his first job in radio after sneaking into a gig underage. He’s since gone on to work in sales planning, creative copywriting, commercial programming and audio production. After many years of being referred to as 'Barney' he now has a lifelong vendetta against anything of the prehistoric, purple and green variety (Jurassic Park, aubergines and Lou Ferrigno are all deeply triggering.) And despite the surname, he wishes it be made clear that he does not own a chocolate confectionary company. Cats, tatts and flash-fiction are all his bag. But not flash-fiction of tattooed cats. Just to be clear.
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.
Brian Nentwick

Client Development Manager

As a drummer Brian has an eclectic musical history. He's played in bands ranging from surf rock to funk, even a pop rock band named 'Makeshift Parachute'. He is passionate about his relationship with clients and the team and is a firm believer that people are what make the daily work so much fun.
Chris Lux

Audiobook Editor

Chris knows how to live the rock and roll life of Lux-ury. He’s a qualified drummer who loves nothing more than a bottomless brunch, and thanks to all the business audiobooks he’s produced, he knows how to live like a millionaire. All he has to do now is earn a million pounds.
As well as being an audiobook expert, Chris has also worked in dubbing. In fact, people in Japan are listening to his dubbed version of Queer Eye on Netflix. Keep changing lives, Chris.
Dougal Patmore

Audiobook Producer/Editor

Dougal’s skills are wide-ranging and stretch across all aspects of producing and editing audiobooks. And, being flexible in a more literal sense, he can also put his leg behind his head. A self-professed history nerd who’s currently training for a wheelchair marathon, Dougal is no stranger to marathon audiobook recording sessions either, having once been tasked with recording an unabridged audio version of the Bible.
Ella Mitchell

Audio Account Manager

Ella joined Red Apple with an impressive 10 years in the industry under her belt. In that time she's explored her passion for audio by working across all areas of planning, sales, and creative marketing...and she's nailed down exactly how she likes her tea. Other Apples take note: it must be darker than a California tan. And if you really want to get into Ella's good books, you could give her the gift of her favourite fruit, watermelon...and make sure you don't mention the time she accidentally elbowed Sir Richard Attenborough in the face...
Joss Moore

Senior Post-Production Coordinator

As an audiobook producer Joss loves to bring a story to life. And he's a got a few tantalising tales of his own. Like the time he was hypnotised on stage by Darren Brown. He sat in a wheelchair with a bag on his head writing names on a chalkboard. We think he's back to normal now.
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

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.
Kit Grier

Junior Audiobook Editor

Kit is our in-house chiptune expert. For those who don’t know, that’s music made with gameboys and old video game hardware. A true audio artist across the genres, Kit studied at Queen's Belfast's Sonic Arts Research Centre. As well as the audiobooks he creates here at Red Apple, you can also hear his work in the form of the podcasts he’s been making since 2014. And if you recognise him, perhaps you saw him as an extra in Lost City of Z, or in a little show called Game of Thrones…?
Marcella D'Aston

Account Manager

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 dog is cuter than your dog.
Michael Pender

Junior Editor

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

Audiobooks Pre-Production Coordinator

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 Campbell

Dubbing Mixer

Ollie is our sound whisperer. And if you could whisper, that would be great, because according to Ollie, the sounds with the most impact are sometimes the quietest ones. So why he learned to play the trumpet is a bit of a mystery.
He knows how to make the sound of footprints in the snow (by crunching a rubber glove filled with cornflour), that sound travels four times faster in water than it does in air, and that you should never expose a studio engineer to natural light. They’re just not used to it.
Robert Baker

Sound Engineer

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.
Sam Dillon

Senior Audio Producer

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.
Sonali Sen Sharma

Integrated Producer

Sonali is Red Apple’s high-flyer. Not only is she an incredibly capable producer who effortlessly navigates creative and strategic processes across all things audio and digital, she’s also our in-house aerialist.
Throughout the last half decade she’s also walked a tightrope between the worlds of music and advertising, having worked in media planning, music journalism, and publicity for music festivals and artists. Here at Red Apple, she keeps climbing higher and higher.
Tom Ryan

Audiobook Editor

Tom is here to help you achieve the life you dream of. Or, at least, the audiobook you dream of. That’s because, thanks to his extensive experience producing audiobooks, he’s now also an expert in the fields of self-help and philosophy.
A lot must have sunk in, because Tom has manifested an incredibly thrilling and exciting life. He’s a surfer and black belt who’s sung in one of Stormzy’s music videos. Let’s hope that one day he produces the audiobook of his autobiography.
Zoe Dale

Senior Audiobooks Pre-Production Coordinator

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.
