Radio

I love radio, it’s an honour to connect with people in such an intimate way. If you have a radio station you need presenter cover for then please do drop me an email.

I’ve been presenting radio in the West Midlands since 1997. Starting out on the Breakfast Show at Beacon Radio in Wolverhampton, I went on to produce the Galaxy 102.2 Breakfast show (now Captial), present mid-mornings at Mercia FM (now Hits Radio), and then went back to breakfast for Kerrang Radio (Sony Award Silver Winner in 2005, and nominee in 2007). In 2008 I joined Ed James on the Heart FM Breakfast show, where I stayed for 9 years (Sony Award Nominee in 2009, and Sony Gold winner in 2011)

In 2017 I took some time out to finish a PhD in Creative Writing and travel across Europe in a micro campervan! Returning to radio in 2019 to present the drivetime show on Greatest Hits Radio.

Since leaving Heart FM I’ve also worked as a Freelance presenter on BBC local stations including BBC Radio Derby, where I did a Saturday Breakshow, and BBC CWR where I presented an evening arts and culture show, Coventry Creates.
