Hi there, welcome to my homepage, drop me an email - I love to get them! Name: Chris Ewington
Born 1972 in Westminster London. Lived and worked in London until 2003 as a Chef in various Hotels and Restaurants finishing off at British Airways Concorde and First Class Chef at Heathrow.
I came to Salisbury in 2003 and started work at Southampton Airport as Catering Ops Manager which lasted 5 weeks until I met the then Station Manager of Spire FM In a Public House in Salisbury!
He seemed to like me straight away and offered me my own show on Sunday Nights to get started in Radio, something I had never done before but soon started to enjoy it.
I continued to cover various shifts for other presenters and learnt about presenting and being myself on radio. Eventually I became the first Freelance presenter to cover the Breakfast Show for one week and was moved to permanent Breakfast in 2006.
