Born in 1954, he joined the BBC in 1975 as a studio manager. Initially working at Bush House, he soon transferred to Broadcasting House. Between 1981 and 1987 he worked as a BBC Television announcer, followed by a spell on Channel 4 before returning to BBC TV in 1988.

He enjoys fell walking in the Lake District and sailing, and is characterised by his mature, husky voice, warm, clear and uniquely modulated, with precise pronunciation.
