Tim Cole - SGR FM, Suffolk

I was with HBA in Southampton from about 1997 - 2001 presenting the Saturday Club and a slot on Thursday evenings.

I went on to do some freelance presenting work with 107.8 Southcity FM, Orchard FM, Spire FM and various other south coast stations.

I got a full time gig presenting drive on 102 Spire FM in Salisbury, where I stayed for a year, during which time we were Sony nominated for station of the year.

I was then asked to apply for the daytime job at Suffolk's SGR FM (tsa 500,000). Which is where I still am; presenting each day 10am - 3pm and Saturday breakfast.

Since getting the job i have added some 18,000 listeners, increased hours and made quite a name for myself.

Of course none of this would have been possible without Southampton HBA.

It doesn't have to be broadcasting anything interesting that we can mention here. Perhaps you found a vocation at Southampton HBA, perhaps you decided Charity work was your thing and you are now part of a large (say national charity). Perhaps you learnt a skill at Southampton HBA that has helped you in life.
