Phil Angel - Programme Director

UKRD’s Group Programme Director, Phil Angell, started his radio career in 1987 at LBC Radio in London before moving to Oxfordshire where in the 90’s he was both Programme Director and Breakfast Presenter at FOX FM.

In 1998, Phil moved to Cornwall to take up a similar position at Pirate FM and became UKRD’s Group Programme Director in 2000. Phil has a passion for animals and his Cornish cottage is littered with the detritus of 4 dogs, 6 cats and a parrot called Jack!

James Wenger - Chief Technology Officer

UKRD’s Chief Technology Officer fell into radio by accident relatively recently, having come from an internet and software development background, prior to which he spent more time than is sensible for anyone without sandals and a beard swanning around in Academia pretending to do clever things. James stopped protesting that he was not some kind of computer nerd when the rest of the Exec team started commenting on him never seeming to turn up to meetings without at least one computer and when someone else told him having four computers on his desk was “not normal”

As well as radio and computers, James also studies aikido and regularly heads over to Japan to be reminded that he is still only just learning this stuff.
