A​ number of awards have come my way through my broadcast work: two Sony radio golds, one Sony silver, two RTS nominations, and one IRN nomination.
I'm contentedly retired now but I was on the staff of the BBC for 20 years, working across a wide range of broadcasting disciplines. After leaving the BBC staff in 2001 I worked as a freelance for the BBC and many other broadcasting organisations. My broadcast experience covers a wide range of disciplines. For TV: presenter, correspondent, reporter, producer and director. For radio: presenter, producer, commentator, reporter.
