More about Ben
Hi, I'm a Somerset-born web designer and radio producer from Minehead
Having grown up in West Somerset, I got into radio at the tender age of 14, working for what, at the time, was the smallest UK commercial radio station, Quay West Radio.
After leaving college, I went on to produce radio at some of the UK's biggest commercial stations, including Galaxy 105 in Leeds (now Capital Yorkshire) and Real Radio.
From there, I joined the BBC to work at BBC Radio Sheffield, where I helped craft the station's distinctive sound, looking after promos and idents.
After a year-long stint in Brighton, where I helped transform BBC Southern Counties Radio into two new brands, BBC Sussex and BBC Surrey, I returned to Somerset after 8 years to work in another passion of mine, web and digital design, with my new venture, Somerset Web Designers, Force One Media. I also work part-time at BBC Somerset.
