Thanks for visiting my website!

Here you can listen to my voiceovers, watch me presenting and hear all about The Stories of Bertie the Guinea Pig.

I’ve been working in the media for over fifteen years and presented on local radio, national radio and regional TV. I’ve voiced countless corporate videos and a number of nationwide commercial campaigns and now I’m branching out as a children’s storyteller.

If you’re looking for someone with a versatile voice and a friendly face, you’ve come to the right website!

I hope you enjoy your visit.

You can now preview The Stories of Bertie the Guinea Pig on YouTube!

Look out for a great feature on Bertie and Jenny in the current issue of Guinea Pig Magazine.

I’m currently writing another article for them about one of my other guinea pigs, Sophie – who had a talent for opening doors… more on that in issue 7!

The video files I voiced recently for Reed NCFE have now gone live on YouTube.

Click here to listen to one of the videos or visit my corporate voice-overs page to hear them all!

I’ve been working with local company Digital Sidekick voicing promotional videos for Sage 50 HR.

Would you like to hear all four Bertie stories?

I’ll be at Hexham library on Saturday 3rd December, 10am-11am. Why not come along and hear Bertie squeak?

If you’re a guinea pig fan and you’d like to know more, look out for a feature on Bertie and Jenny in the UK’s Guinea Pig Magazine in the next couple of months!

I really enjoyed voicing these videos for local holiday cottage companies this summer. Great to be promoting three regions close to my heart and fun to watch when you want a reminder of sunnier days!

Bertie is now available on the App store!

The Stories of Bertie the Guinea Pig is an app for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad with four virtual books for children. The first one, Bertie and the Big Squeak is absolutely free!

Beautifully illustrated, these short read-along tales are aimed at pre-schoolers but great for guinea pig lovers of any age and feature my present day guinea pigs squeaking, snuffling, munching and rustling.

Click here to download the app or visit my Bertie Books page to find out more about this amazing little guinea pig and his friends.

I’m an experienced presenter and have worked across both the broadcast and corporate sectors presenting on local and national radio and on regional TV as well as at corporate events and for numerous corporate videos.
