Started at BRMB selling commercial airtime and went on to develop sponsorship and events across the Midlands Radio Group. When Capital Radio purchased the company I developed the Party in the Park series and other major music events across the regional stations.

Sold space in Yellow Pages ..... a great product and a great team of people!

From school I did a stint with the Royal Navy but decided there was too much ironing involved! Left with no idea what I wanted to do and helped a friend run a pub for a while before becoming a salesman. I sold radio pagers, photo copiers, mobile phones when they first came out and even tools to garages out the back of a van!
