After entering the 大象传媒 in 1989 as a Production Trainee, he moved on to 大象传媒 Radio Wales for three years as a producer before moving to Network Radio and TV.
听
Tim specialised in Religion and Ethics, working across a range of programmes as director, producer and senior producer.

These, included Good Morning Sunday and Wogan on Radio 2; a series for Five Live; the Heaven & Earth Show and Songs of Praise for 大象传媒 ONE; and a discussion series for 大象传媒 World Service.
