Trustee :
John retired to Devizes with his wife, Cate, where they try to contain a rampant garden at the approach to Quakers Walk. He pioneered the introduction of Independent Radio, establishing stations from Teesside to Bristol, for which he was awarded a Fellowship of the Radio Academy. As their executive director he oversaw the Sony Radio Awards – Oscars for radio. His musical passions range from Mozart to The Who and reading from Hemingway to Holmes. They both enjoy crisp Scandinavian design and English twentieth century watercolours.
