Jamie's biog

Jamie has had a long love of radio and music.  Before joining Hope FM, Jamie presented The Morning Show on Forest FM whilst also hosting a version of Desert Island Discs on Southampton Hospital Radio.

Jamie is a politics graduate from Bristol University, and in the early 1980s worked as an intern in the US Senate before becoming a researcher in the House of Commons.  He loves both politics and business and the great thing about his Lunchbyte Show is the opportunity to discuss them both.

Jamie operated a chain of successful businesses in London and was a member of the Church Council of St Barnabas' Church Clapham Common. Now he is a member of the congregation of All Saints Church in Lymington.

His main hobby is sailing but he still has a great love of old cars and is the Coy's, West of England representative, advising historic car owners on how best to sell their vehicles. Jamie is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
