David Sheppey – Resource Operator

David joined the BBC in January 1985 as a Trainee Audio Assistant and in 1997 trained as a Vision Mixer. In 2001 he became a Resource Operator which encompasses both skills and continued working across both TV and Radio.

His talent for teaching saw him take on a training role, initially for staff in BBC NI, but this soon took him to Poland and Prague where he was employed as a consultant and trainer for the World Service. He was also attached to 6Music for their launch in February 2002.

David assisted in the design of our two new radio studios and has also collaborated on the design for a new radio car.

David’s specialisation in training has recently seen him take on an acting post as Mentor, responsible for the training and development of many of the Audio staff, including the new intake of Technical Trainees.

David has an impressive list of credits which show his wealth of experience and expertise.

"As part of his duties David Sheppey regularly works as an audio engineer on all the Radio Current Affairs output from BBC NI. He is a very skilled and experienced operator and makes a big contribution to the smooth running of the programmes. He is consistently helpful towards Producers and does his best to meet all the many technical demands. He is also a very good trainer and has spent a great deal of time and energy devising the training scheme for a changed role for the Broadcast Assistants. He also trains staff in the use of Dalet (hard disk playout system) and the news reading staff in Studio 2. He is constantly making suggestions about how to improve the studios, the radio car and our outside broadcast equipment." – Kathleen Carragher, Editor Radio News, BBC NI.
