Zinc Media Group Taps BBC Studios Alum to Lead Production

Zinc Media Group has appointed former Uplands and BBC Studios production head Nick Todd as Zinc Television’s head of production.

Todd will be responsible for overseeing operations and productions across the company’s TV labels based in London and Manchester, including Brook Lapping, Rex, Supercollider and Red Sauce.

He joins from Uplands Television, where he was also head of production. Prior to that, he was head of production for BBC Studios’ factual entertainment and events unit.

“Not only is Nick an inspirational production leader, he is incredibly well-respected right across the industry,” said Tanya Shaw, managing director of Zinc Television. “His extensive experience of leading large-scale production units is perfectly complemented by his collaborative and supportive approach. That’s why he is perfectly placed to lead our London and Manchester labels as we look to further expand our specialist factual footprint. We are very excited to have him on board.”

“I’m delighted to be joining Zinc Television as it embarks upon its next phase of growth across the London and Manchester TV bases,” Todd said. “The breadth of output and the mix of labels is outstanding, and the content is all defined by quality, creativity and ambition. I’m looking forward to working with Tanya and the brilliant team to realize the vision for the business through 2023 and beyond.”
