“Working with Tom Hunter is fun, inspirational and exciting, his leadership is excellent and without his drive and determination the business would not have achieved its full potential, or have been the place people wanted to work. My overriding memory of FOX FM with Tom is the passion for Radio he installed in everyone and the real team spirit this produced.”
