About

We are a privately owned company working in a specialised area of the broadcast sector trading on the quality of our service, the standard of our staff, our planning skills, and operational facilities. Our attention to detail contributes to a high level of repeat business. 

There are few, if any, companies that can provide the same unique level of experience as Bow Tie television when it comes to operational and technical roles, plus production and engineering capabilities. Beyond that, Bow Tie television offers a wealth of broadcast contract management experience, at secure, high profile sites that also have substantial heritage considerations.

Our clients consist of a wide range of satellite broadcasters, terrestrial broadcasters, overseas networks, independent production companies and, of course, governmental authorities. At all times, we make certain we have adequate infrastructure and key personal in place to maintain our service level and, just as important, our reputation with our clients. Bow Tie television secures a significant amount of its work through word of mouth recommendation. When a client has seen the quality of our planning, technicians, equipment and service provision first hand we become firm favourites.

We have excellent project management skills, and offer end to end solutions in addition to the more conventional Outside Broadcast (if there is such a thing as we think each event is unique!). We are often called upon to source everything for our clients from the venue to the final edit and DVD manufacture, with staging, audience gathering and catering to name a few additions along the way, again giving us a diverse edge over the competition. These we always achieve with good humour and a professional attitude.

We are large enough to perform well on major events but small enough to care about all our clients and every one of their jobs!

Recent Changes to the Company Set-up

Bow Tie television limited was formed in 1990 (company registration number 2405231) and is wholly owned by John Knopp and Duncan Smith.  Managing Director, John Knopp, looks after the day to day logistics and operations, while Duncan Smith - Sales Director - is responsible for the job costing, quotations and client contact.

Key Personnel

Bow Tie Television is committed to the long term training and job satisfaction of our staff. To that end we have an enviably low employment turnover rate, and indeed are proud of the fact that our enthusiastic staff, in all areas from Technical Assistants upwards, respond well to our structured training and the diversity of work. Our teams are regularly complimented for their cohesion and excellent client facing attitudes.

Growth, Development & New Technology Purchases

To further our ability to offer a fully rounded service to our clients we have now sucessfully leased space on a CDN - Content Delivery Network. This allows us to web stream and hold origin storage for our clients and not have to relay on a third party supplier.
