How did you get to where you are today?

By working hard, being self-critical and striving to improve. I was a tackle shop maggot-cleaning boy until I graduated from university and spotted an advert in Angler’s Mail for a trainee reporter (such posts existed 16 years ago). I contributed in various roles until the old editor retired in 2002. I gambled it was ‘now or never’to try and edit the title.

What are your main tasks?
