I started my career in media at Aberdeen Journals working on sales support material for Press & Journal and Evening Express advertising sales teams. In 1996 I joined the Marketing Information Department at the Scotsman Publications working across their portfolio of titles. After a brief spell as a sales executive on the agency sales team I returned to head up their Research Department, a challenge I thoroughly enjoyed as The Scotsman Publications was in the process of developing their titles including the launch of The Scotsman’s S2 section. My next move was to Glasgow, joining the Daily Record and Sunday Mail to head up their consumer research function. When the role of Research Manager at Scottish Radio Holdings became available I decided that it was the fresh exciting challenge I was looking for following 8 years in newspapers. My move to SRH bases me at Radio Forth in Edinburgh but my role takes me across the entire SRH network from Inverness to Southampton and across to Belfast supporting the programming & sales teams with their research requirements.
