About Me
Lynsey Bartlett
I am one of the lucky ones as I have spent most of my career fulfilling my childhood dreams. Radio was my first passion and, after making shows in my room as a child and a stint on hospital radio, I landed my first presenting gig in Wolverhampton in the late Nineties.
In 2002, now living in Hove, I was offered a weekend show on Southern FM, which became Heart Sussex in 2009. During my 17 years at the station, I presented all kinds of programmes, the most fun being the Heart Breakfast show, which I co-hosted for more than four years. I am proud to say we won a Sony award in 2010 - a radio “Oscar” if you like.
Currently, I host a weekday breakfast show on Passion Radio, a dance music station available on DAB in parts of the UK, and online here.
Thanks to many years spent in a studio, I am an experienced voiceover artist and can produce high quality audio from my home. Read more about my voice work and listen to my showreels here.
Writing had always been something of a hobby that ran alongside my radio career until I returned to college in 2016 and qualified as a journalist (NCTJ). I have used that skill to become a proficient copywriter and my clients hail from many different industries. I am also a columnist for a local paper in Brighton. See examples of the web copy, stories and articles I have written here.
The final string to my bow is event hosting. For almost two decades I have been compering large events on a regular basis. My considerable experience means your event is always in safe hands and is guaranteed to flow smoothly. Click here for my events page.
To get a genuine feel for how I work, read my clients’ thoughts below.
Clients past and present.
“Lynsey has hosted many events for my company over several years now and I can always rely on her to add that extra special ingredient to make them special and memorable.
She is a consummate professional, but also very relaxed and connects well with the audience. She has hosted everything from our Business Women Excellence Awards to Youth Awards and the Sussex Economic Forum. Because of her years on air in Sussex, she has the ability to make people feel like she is talking directly to them, despite there often being an audience of hundreds in the room.
No matter the style of the event, Lynsey delivers every time and I have complete trust in her to ensure the night runs smoothly.
Choose Lynsey to host your event and you will not be disappointed.”
