What I've Done
I spent 16 years as a Broadcast Journalist for the BBC and commercial broadcasters, and in that time I conducted at least 20,000 interviews.
In 2010 I stopped being a BBC Manager, got a Training Qualification and started being a freelance Media & Communications Consultant and Trainer.
Here are some of the things that I've done, and trust me, they are ever-so interesting...

Worked internationally in the USA, Switzerland, Qatar & Ireland.
