I’m a highly experienced communicator – calm, authoritative with a reassuring voice.
I’m a highly experienced communicator – calm, authoritative with a reassuring voice. I work as an event host, MC, debate and conference chair / facilitator, media skills trainer, university lecturer, script consultant and voice artist.
I’m a BBC trained journalist who spent more than 30 years presenting and producing live radio programmes. I’ve combined broadcasting with teaching, training and mentoring. Words are my business – writing them, speaking them or recording them. During the final years of my mother’s life I recorded the award-winning podcast ‘Mum and Me: The Dementia Diary’.
I’m well organised and enjoy admin, having (sadly) been executor for six family members over the last decade. I’m a proud Yorkshireman, who loves photography, reading and running.
Until 2022 I spent part of each week looking after my late Mum and recorded an award-winning, weekly podcast (‘Mum and Me: The Dementia Diary’) for which I was named a Dementia Hero by the Alzheimer’s Society. I now give talks about, and hosts events linked to, dementia:
Senior broadcast journalist and presenter for weekend breakfast, teatime news, and other programmes; producer roles and outside broadcasts; elections coverage; awards.
Senior lecturer; taught undergraduate/postgraduate radio; supervised and assessed news days; MA dissertation supervision; part-time 0.5 load (2005-2006).
Conference and event hosting: chairing debates, hosting concerts and award ceremonies; university teaching and training; mentoring; voiceover work for universities and DBS.
Head student; drama; voluntary work
For the weekly podcast 'Mum and Me: The Dementia Diary' about my now late Mum who was living with dementia and about how I coped (or didn't!) with the situation
