How a production background shaped the company
jurnizo began in 2014, started by Helen Marsden after many years directing live studio programmes. She had seen how often a good programme was held back by poorly planned rooms and equipment. The company was set up to deal with that side of the work properly.
Helen has directed live studio programmes for more than twenty years, and that experience still sets the tone. Projects are planned from the point of view of the people who will use the studio on a transmission day: the presenter, the director, the operator and the engineer who has to find a fault quickly.
Over time the team grew around the main parts of a studio. Callum Reeve designs signal routing and gallery systems and commissions each installation on site. Priya Nair draws lighting plots and programmes the control desk. Owen Tregear measures and treats rooms so speech stays clear and consistent.
We work for broadcasters, production companies and venue operators planning or upgrading live television studios in the UK. Jobs range from a single voice booth to a complete studio with gallery, lighting and acoustic treatment, and we are open about whether a request suits a team of our size.
Our office and yard are on Quay Lane in Exeter. Being compact means the people you speak to at enquiry stage are the same ones who visit, install and commission. There is no hand-off to a different department, and nobody learns your studio for the first time on the day it goes live.
We would rather explain a decision than hide it behind jargon. Each plan comes with reasons, each system with documentation, and each job ends with a handover so your own staff can run what we have built.
