Simon Fielding, News Editor at Spirit FM in 2017:

“Robyn is one of the brightest and most talented young people within her profession. She works hard, often going beyond the call of duty in what’s expected of her to produce outstanding content.

“She is also a bubbly and easy-going person to have around the office. She works extremely hard, but also has the ability to mix this with humour.

“One of Robyn’s key strengths is her ability to produce digital content. She is always keeping up with the current trends of what makes readable material.”

Alex Farnham, Head of Creative at Spirit FM in 2017:

“Robyn Montague proved herself invaluable in assisting the Creative Team with idea generation and content production.

“She always embraces both the commercial and creative sides of anything, bridging the gap between departments and seeing ideas through from inception to delivery with both technical knowledge of how to execute them and a keen eye for commercially friendly content.”

Ed Sherry, Producer at BBC Soth Today in 2014:

“Robyn has a great eye for a story and instinctively knows how to make it work for regional television.

“As well as being very professional she was also fun to work with and was well liked in the newsroom during her fortnight. She was keen to learn and took feedback well.

“The most impressive aspect of Robyn’s fortnight has been her ability to spot a good story, for a journalist I believe that is the most important skill and it will stand her in good stead in the future.

“She is a very talented young woman and I’m confident that she has a bright future in the industry.”

Adam Clark, News Editor at ITV News Meridian in 2014:

“Robyn has presented herself well, and is always keen to come up with ideas for the programme.

“She has been given tasks that have been carried out quickly and efficiently.”

Jodie Jeynes, writer at The News Portsmouth in 2013:

“Robyn is professional, confident, helpful, pro-active and carries out all tasks to a high standard.

“She is very capable and bright, with a good understanding of the industry.”

Jim Pusey, News Editor of Jack FM in 2013:

“Robyn is perhaps the best work experience student I’ve encountered and I would be happy to provide her with training opportunities.

“It is quite clear that she will make an excellent broadcast journalist and has a genuine interest in radio.”
