Frances Finn biography
听
Frances Finn - known as Fran - trained as a radio journalist in 1996 and was offered her first day's work at the 大象传媒 early in 1997.
听
That day was at 大象传媒 Radio Derby and one day's work turned into a few weeks, and then a few years!
听
She was thrown in at the presenting deep end in 1999, and has been in front of the microphone pretty much ever since.
听
After doubling the audience of the Lunchtime Show at Radio Derby, she moved to Radio Nottingham 18 months ago.
听
She has enjoyed presenting the Late Show - which is broadcast on seven stations around the Midlands - but is looking forward to working during the day so she can free up her evenings to spend more time with her husband, Gerry.
听
Now living in Nottingham, Fran's hobbies are motorbiking - she passed her test last December and now rides a Suzuki SV 650S - tennis, cooking, sea fishing and snow boarding.
听
She plays several musical instruments and has been in rock bands in the past.
听
Fran is also involved with her local Anglican church in Woodthorpe.
