Just two years after celebrating their 25th birthday the future looks bright for Nick Harris Media Communications.

We will be attending all 18 rounds of the 2010 MotoGP World Championship. For the 11th year in succession Nick will commentate to millions of television world-wide from practice, qualifying and the races. Nick will also host all the major press conferences and we will look after the British media.

We will be looking after the media interests for Bradley Smith, who finished runner-up in the 2009 125 cc World Championship.

Once again we have produced the very successful MotoGP Media brochure, VIP booklet and Circuits cards for the International Road Racing Teams Association.

We have many more exciting on going projects that we will tell you all about.

Finally of course, there is the BBC Football commentary following the fortunes of Oxford United Football Club. Nick has also been hosting some of the Saturday afternoon sport programmes on BBC Radio Oxford.

Twenty seven years is a long time but the Nick Harris Media Communications success story continues into another new decade.

Nick Harris’s distinctive voice opens the “A closer look at he title fight” video that won the coveted Georges Bertelloti Golden Podium prize at the Sportel Convention in Monaco last year.

A video montage featuring the intense battle between MotoGP stars Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo won the award for the best Slow Motion Sequence – Cut/Edited Shot category.

The Georges Bertellotti award was created in 1991 and is part of the Golden Podium Awards which each year showcases the best TV sports images and slow-motion sequences, with the ceremony taking place as part of the Sportel Monaco, the International Sports Convention for Television and New Media.
