Available to hire
Hi, I’m Joe Smith. I’m a broadcast professional with extensive experience as a producer and presenter across Piccadilly Radio, Radio Aire, and BBC Manchester. I started by presenting overnight shows and moved into a range of on-air, production, and live event tasks, building strong scripting, editing, and studio skills.
In the last two decades I transitioned into customer service and sales roles in the insurance sector, handling motor policies, renewals, and inquiries by phone and email. I’m now seeking part-time opportunities that combine my communication strengths with my media background.
