From a less than promising spell in banking, David began in commercial radio in Nottingham as a teenager well over 40 years ago, fullfiling a dream he'd nurtured since appearing on BBC local radio reading a poem aged 6.

He rose through the ranks to run radio stations in Leicester, Lincoln, Leeds, Birmingham, Manchester, Nottingham, Gateshead - and London at  LBC and Virgin - departing only for a brief sojourn in media regulation.

After almost retiring, Boom Radio was the dream of David Lloyd - and he's just loving the response the station's attracting since he helped to to found it in 2021. And - after years managing stations - he's utterly delighted to be back on-air having fun, alongside playing a key role in running the whole project.

Away from radio, David is a recent convert to running with Parkruns and half-marathons - and he suggests he is fitter now than he was as a teenager!
