Sum up what you do at News UK in the shortest sentence possible.

I make radio programmes.

Lay a bit of context on that.

I work with a group of brilliant presenters and producers on Times Radio making Early Breakfast, Breakfast and the Matt Chorley programme. We keep Times Radio going from 0500 to 1300 Monday to Thursday.

What attracted you to the role in the first place?

I’m a radio producer who loves The Times. When I saw the words Times Radio, I knew instantly it was where I wanted to work.

What’s the most interesting/challenging part of your job?

Getting my head around all the stories each day is both exciting and occasionally bewildering.

What are the three most important things on your working agenda today?

The skill of making a breakfast programme is trying to work out what is going to be the news tomorrow when nothing has happened yet.

Who is your role model? And why?

George Dent, the fictitious TV news editor in Drop The Dead Donkey. He may have looked ineffectual, but he always got the news out and he was never an arse.

What is your most treasured possession?

My spotify playlist.

Who would play you in the film of your life?

Naveen Andrews in his Buddha of Surburbia days.

Last holiday destination? And why?

Cornwall. My family and I go every February. Seems like a million years ago.

You’ve won ten million on the Lottery – what do you do?

Don’t tell anyone that I’ve won, but buy a lot of drinks.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?

In Radio, you have to be there on time.

What one bit of advice would you give someone wanting to do your job?

Radio is a team game. No-one does it on their own.

Tell us something not many people know about you…?

I won ten million on the Lottery!

As the working day comes to a close, who would be your three Fantasy Dinner Party guests? And why?

Stig Abell, Aasmah Mir, Matt Chorley and Calum Macdonald (I know that is four, but I couldn’t leave one of my presenters out could I?).
