His clients include City Councils, Law firms, Universities, Sports People and others who want help preparing and delivering presentations, or preparing for conversations when the stakes are high.

Bruce has been involved with radio since being an apprentice DJ at the State University of New York in 1979, and in 2023 Bruce became the Station Manager at Seymour FM where he has been impressed with the level of energy and resilience of a number of people who have endured the pandemic, rebuilt a transmitter after it was burned to the ground, and rebuilt a studio in Pollard Street after the studio in Kings Park was flooded in the infamous October flood.

 

“Despite the pandemic, the fire and the flood, the station continues to present engaging, lively and inspiring radio. Huge thanks to the heroes who resurrected the transmitter after it was incinerated at Granite Park -- and who rigged up a temporary studio while rebuilding a permanent one at our new premises after the old station and most of its equipment was destroyed by the flood – thanks to all the presenters and people working behind the scenes, and thanks to the broader community who rallied around and helped to keep our radio station on air. I’m proud to be involved with such a vibrant and resilient community and I’m excited about the possibilities that are opening up as we near the completion of our new station. There is still much to be done, but let’s celebrate all that has been achieved, and look forward to extending our reach as we build our team.”        ~ Bruce Hunt-Hughes
