Award-winning BBC journalist, podcast producer and Chartered PR Professional helping organisations tell stories that inform, engage and inspire.

With more than 30 years' experience in journalism, broadcasting and strategic communications, I've spent my career helping people and organisations tell stories that inform, engage and inspire.

My career began on the Morecambe Visitor newspaper before taking me into newsrooms across the UK and onto national broadcasting. I still make programmes for broadcasters and am a practicing journalist using multi media methods to tell stories for a growing audience. I’ve presented and produced programmes for BBC Radio 4, 5 Live and BBC local radio from features at home and abroad to hard-hitting documentaries and award-winning investigations.

Today, I continue to work as a journalist, and can draw on decades of experience producing programmes for BBC Radio 4, presenting for 5 Live and local radio plus working as an award-winning BBC Health Correspondent.

Alongside journalism, I'm a Chartered member of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (Chart.PR), combining editorial expertise with strategic communications to help businesses, charities, public sector organisations, universities and individuals communicate with clarity, confidence and impact.

Whether you're looking for an experienced presenter, interviewer, producer, moderator, podcast host, voiceover artist, media trainer or communications consultant, I bring a calm, authoritative and approachable style to every project. I can help develop compelling stories, shape scripts, coach interviewees and spokespeople, improve media performance, produce podcasts and create content that connects with audiences across broadcast, digital and live platforms.

Throughout my career, I've worked with leading organisations, academics, healthcare professionals, businesses and community groups to turn complex ideas into engaging, accessible stories that people remember.

For fun, I launched the Morecambe Bay Podcast after the pandemic. Five years and 150+ episodes later, it is downloaded in 100 countries and continues to grow.

Based around Morecambe Bay area and working with clients across Lancashire, Cumbria, Yorkshire and the wider UK, I'm always interested in new collaborations. If you're looking for an experienced journalist, broadcaster or communications professional to help tell your story, I'd be delighted to hear from you.
