Becky Measures

 

I was born in Derby back in 1981 to Wendy Jill Watson and Jeremy Measures. As a child I grew up around horses as that was my Mum’s livelihood and was thrown on a pony from the age of 2. Mum said it was to inspire me from a young age to become the next horse riding superstar, but I know that it was far easier to lead a pony around a muddy field then it was to push a pushchair! We moved from Long Eaton to the Peak District when I was 9 years old, to a farm just outside the village of Monyash! It was there I found friends and ponies soon fell to the wayside!

I went to Monyash Primary school and from there to Lady Manners in Bakewell! Believe it or not I even did A levels, but I’m not quite sure where I expected A  Levels in Drama and Pottery to get me!

 From a young age I found the love of the theatre and performing, and landed my first role as Katie in Calamity Jane at the age of 15 with Belper Operatic Society playing opposite, believe it or not, my Mother!! I had many roles with various theatre groups throughout the county and regular took part in the biggest pantomime around each year… POMMY PANTO!!!

 I started at peak fm as promotional girl back in May 2001, and it didn’t take them long to realize that I had a mouth on me! I was offered the job as a "back ground girl” on the breakfast show in the October of the same year and things just went from there.

 In 2002 I was introduced to this shy, strawberry blonde fellow called Sean Goldsmith. This man came with buckets of experience and I’m not going to lie I was terrified! Here was me with no radio experience working with a man who had been in the business for over 15 years! But we soon hit it off and after many, arguments, rows, fights, kisses, hugs, hair pulling, here we are today 10 years down the line!!

 I love my job, and everyday I’m grateful for what we are do and also the differences we have been able to make over the years.

LONG MAY IT CONTINUE (hint hint I’m due a new contract J)
