Biography
Freelance broadcast journalist with experience as a reporter for BBC local radio, location producer for BBC Radio Documentaries and an independent documentary producer and presenter. BBC local radio work includes live location and studio-based pieces and pre-recorded packages for BBC Radio Merseyside. Stories covered include some of the biggest in the area in recent years, e.g. the local government grant settlement after the coalition came to power and the fast-moving story of the takeover of Liverpool Football Club. I recently produced and presented an independent documentary investigating the coalition's academy schools policy, which won an award judged by a former Deputy Controller of BBC Radio 5 Live.

Outside of those hours – and from 6.30pm on Sundays – it operates as a taxi rank.
