Wave 105

Simon has been worked in radio since he was 18 which is a remarkable achievement for someone who up until then wanted to be a chef.

He came to Wave 105 in 2006 after spells on air in Birmingham, Coventry, Peterborough, Leeds and The Home Counties. Away from work you'll find him in the kitchen, discovering new walks in The New Forest or indulging in his passion for cycling.

He is currently reading as many books as he can find about beekeeping because his ambition is to make his own honey.

Simon is always up for a challenge and has completed numerous cycle rides for our charity Cash For Kids.

In 2010 he swapped being on the air for falling through it at 126mph on a tandem skydive.

Catch Simon weekday afternoons from 1 or Sunday mornings from 6.
