This year-end wrap reflects on a busy 2025 filled with meaningful projects, including a standout trip to New York with a memorable visit to NBC Studios, rewarding RNIB recordings of Dickens classics, and hands-on work with the next generation at the National Construction College.

Looking ahead, 2026 brings both challenge and change as one contract ends, prompting a renewed focus on finding new clients, a familiar feeling at the turn of each year.

I had the privilege of MCing the Ipswich Samaritans Charity Ball at Talbooth, alongside a live band and auctioneer from Clarke and Simpson.

Their support is available 24/7, and every call can make a real difference. If you or someone you know needs help, call 116 123 free of charge.
