Stuart Sansom's career in broadcast television began in 1953 when he joined High Definition Films, a ground-breaking film-technology company based in Highbury Studios, north London. He was one of several staff who went on to form the engineering nucleus of the future independent television companies. Following the closure of HDF in 1957, Sansom stayed in TV engineering with Television Wales and West, and later with ABC Television at Teddington Studios. He became chief engineer in 1964 and during this time played a key role in the launch of 625-line and colour services in the UK.
