Peter Day
- Recruited by BBC Radio News, London in 1974.
- Left the BBC in 1983 to join TV-am as economics and industrial correspondent.
- Returned to BBC Radio 4 as presenter and producer for The Financial World Tonight.
- Won a Harold Wincott Award for broadcast business journalism in 1989 and 2000.
- Also received the Industrial Society Award for business broadcasting and a Lifetime Achievement award by the Work Foundation, London.
I didn't really want to get into business broadcasting, it was a bit of an accident. I joined the BBC in the newsroom and discovered that if you were doing business you actually went on air, where as everyone else was just a news writer. And that was rather appealing.
