Employment History & Experience

I have some extras experience over the years, starting back in 1991 working at the World of Shakespeare in Stratford on Avon. This in turn led to a more scripted and involved role, and although I have never covered Shakespeare since, it has led me to a variety of other opportunities. I have appeared on tv in a few current affairs/news programmes, been in printed magazines, and much more.

Experience & Qualifications


General Experience

I've worked on tv, online, been in print media, done voiceover work, and more.



Qualifications & Training

I'm privately school educated and started on the stage at a young age. As a teenager, I was fortunate enough to work in one of the theatres in the Shakespearean heartland of Stratford on Avon, working with a small but great cast of actors on very intimate and highly abridged Shakespearean shorts.


Other Information

Relevant Skills

I'm an excellent communicator, both naturally and with the warmth of my sense of humour and personality. I have a very broad range of accents, and am quick thinking enough to be very good at ad lib

Interests & Hobbies

I'm a keen cyclist (although not particularly great), and a big fan of old school comedies and black and white movies. I am a complete petrol head, with a fascination and keen knowledge of most cars and motorbikes.

Miscellaneous Information

I've gone through a lot of changes since late 2015. I've lost an insane amount of weight, my confidence (which was never low) has had a boost, and I'm keenly researching family history which does have some massive and fascinating surprises.
