    • Classic FM's Project Manager, Producer
      • Dec 2015 - Jan 2018

      My role plays a pivotal part in a range of projects across the world's largest classical music radio station - incorporating On-air, Digital, Marketing, Communications and Partnership work. A key contact for Classic FM's external relations, I enjoy managing and developing the station's relationships with its 12 fabulous partner orchestras in the UK and the USA, as well as Media Partnerships across the country including the Edinburgh International Festival and Welsh Proms. I manage the station's special projects and events which, in Classic FM's 25th birthday year, have ranged from a series of 7 new commissions in partnership with the Royal Philharmonic Society to a series of exclusive live broadcasts in Liverpool and at The Prince of Wales' home in Scotland. In addition to partnership work, I produce The Full Works Concert, every weeknight on Classic FM. This makes full use of my extensive knowledge of classical repertoire and recorded catalogues. I also work directly with orchestras, artists and agents to secure exclusive audio for special broadcasts. I'm grateful to work in an industry which allows me to develop my great passion in life.
