Simon Hirst.
Known as "Hirsty" to his friends and listeners, he's one UK radio's greats. A funny and skilled radio craftsman, he became best known across the country for hosting Hit40UK; the national commercial radio chart show which also crossed onto Channel 4.
He currently hosts Hirsty's Daily Dose on 105 Capital FM Yorkshire but started his radio career at just 12 years old making the tea at Radio Aire before reaching the overnight show at 16. Minster FM, The Pulse, Hallam FM and Viking FM are among his early credits.
He has gathered many awards and plaudits including the CRCA Presenter of the Year. He's a radio aficionado, some might say anorak, but his knowledge and appreciation of radio's heritage are legend.
