Matt Jones

SOUND ENGINEER & PRODUCTION DIRECTOR

With 30-year’s experience in Sound Engineering working with bands, film, TV and many celebrities, Matt started Cre8media in 2012 providing national radio coverage and audio streaming services for events all over the country. His working relationship with the BBC started during his studio recording days and helped with practical training on behalf of the famous BBC Wood Norton Studios in Evesham. Matt is a Chinese food/wine/gin and music lover of the 90s. Matt has an extensive knowledge of football and often has to explain ‘the beautiful game’ to the rest of the Cre8media team. He once had a passenger ride with Rally ace Tommi Makinen in a Mitsubishi Evo and has never recovered since!

MikeChambers

Mike Chambers

REPORTER & CONTENT DIRECTOR

Mike has always loved and played sport and has the wonderful Steve Ryder to thank for getting him into the whole sports related broadcasty thing. “Watching Steve present at The Masters years ago made me think “Cor, what a job, I’d love to do that” So Mike made contact with FOX FM Oxfordshire, they sent him off to feed reports from football and rugby fixtures, plus GT racing at Silverstone - and that was it, he was doing the job he’d dreamed of! When Mike's not holding his mic, he loves to swim, walk, run, fish, play golf, cook and listen to music…oh and sorry, also participate in a little metal detecting now and then! Known amongst the team as ‘Mikey Two Scoops’… he’ll explain!

SteveTaylor

Steve Taylor

REPORTER & CONTENT DIRECTOR

With 40-years experience in regional and national journalism, media, communications, public relations and as a trainer across a wide range of sectors, Steve brings a wealth of experience to the Cre8media team. He was once told by BTCC racer David Leslie (during an assessment drive round Donington Park) that while he could drive quickly, he had total disregard for other cars around him and should never become a competitor. Steve is… a food/gin/wine/curry loving keen cook, beekeeping, music addicted, radio obsessed, MCFC fan, motor sport follower, travel loving, guitar playing, self-confessed fresh ground coffee snob. Known amongst the team as 'Each Way Sven' he'll explain!

Laura Cook

Laura Cook

SENIOR REPORTER & PRODUCER

Laura has over thirty years experience in broadcasting after working for the BBC as a producer, reporter and news editor. Now freelancing as a newsreader and reporting on location for British Dressage events, Laura also runs a pub in South Northamptonshire. She brings a wealth of experience in reporting and interviewing and loves speaking to anyone about their lives… everyone has a tale to tell and Laura will find it whether you like it or not!!! ;-)) Laura’s claim to fame is being crowned the runner up in the World Conker Championships in 2013 - a technicality stole the crown from her on the day!!!! There isn’t much room in the day to have any hobbies anymore! But when time allows she enjoys cooking for friends and sampling fabulous wine. A good film or boxset on the tellybox also has its place too.

DermTanner2

Derm Tanner

SENIOR REPORTER & PRODUCER

“ You can’t call yourself Derm, it’s a stupid name”. Day one at the BBC in 1983 and they were after changing him from the off. He survived, as did his name, for 29 years before he left to set up his own company. But in that time he’d presented every programme possible in Local Radio, had run a couple of radio stations and had had a go at Regional TV in front of the camera. Since 2012 he’s been on network radio working either for BBC 5Live or Talksport covering football. No one sport wonder however, as cricket, rugby league, motorsport and equestrian events have all been covered by Derm with various levels of competence! As well as that, he lectures at two Universities, teaching sports journalism to tomorrow’s hopefuls. That all means he has the summer off every year. He loves cars and wishes he could fix them but can’t, wishes he could afford some but can’t and wishes he hadn’t bought some, but did.

Diana Binks

SENIOR reporter

Diana’s love of motorsport started when she found herself on an all night rally in the Kielder Forest in Northumberland. She has never looked back. Diana is now a leading communications strategist, broadcaster and performance coach having worked with sports athletes, budding television presenters, reporters, actors, and media executives, and of course not forgetting the Cre8media team. She has also hung upside down in a Corvus Racer Red Bull Air Race aerobatic plane! so she is a great addition to our team and makes a mean cup of tea on location.
