Lawrie Hallett

Dr Lawrie Hallett

I've been lucky enough to work in broadcasting all my adult life. From working as a producer and presenter on stations in the UK and elsewhere in Europe, I went on to run a broadcast engineering and design company, before becoming a broadcast consultant specialising in technology and community-based broadcasting.

Before moving to the University of Bedfordshire, I was part of Ofcom's Radio Team where I developed and implemented policies around community radio and digital audio broadcasting in particular.

When I'm not teaching or involved in research, I can often be found making radio programmes for pleasure or rebuilding old steam locomotives.
