The newest voice on Pirate FM102, Ben Philcox is also a VERY competent DJ whose mixing skills are such that he recently provided the music for a party at the home of a legendary show biz personality.

Ben presents Pirate Gold overnight 7 days a week and mixes much of the music for the Saturday evening 'Party Zone'. Pirate FM102 is Ben's first experience of on-air presentation, but is already showing the ability to be an increasingly important part of Pirate FM's presentation team.

Alan Gates
- Weekend Breakfast Presenter

Pirate FM's Managing Director has a quotation on his office wall: 'It's easier to make an interesting person a presenter than make a presenter interesting.' Alan Gates is an interesting person. A magician, a children's entertainer and a local restaurant owner, Alan is now sharing his own brand of radio magic with South West radio listeners every Saturday and Sunday morning.

Alan was the first winner of Pirate FM's 'Search For A Star' and has now been broadcasting for over two years. He often sits in on the weekday breakfast show if Phil Angell has time off, but a full time commitment to radio would leave a lot of his restaurant customers hungry.

Alan Fleckney
- Weekend Presenter

Alan Fleckney has been broadcasting in the South West for around 15 years. Currently he is the regular Saturday Afternoon and Sunday morning presenter but also covers for any presenter who is on holiday or sick.

Alan's best kept secret is that he lives with a menagerie of animals in his coastal home. No wonder that Alan has no desire to leave the South West. Alan Fleckney is also the presenter most likely to be seen at a Pirate FM outside event. Live on stage Alan is very much in his element so watch out for him - especially in Spring and Summer.

Neil Caddy
- Presenter and the UK's fastest Management Trainee

Neil Caddy joined Pirate FM102 as a Management Trainee. He had worked in Accounts, Airtime Control and Sales but it was increasingly obvious that he had the voice for radio. Having read news items, prerecorded community features and What's On's, he took the plunge (Pirate FM102's area only escapes being an island by about 4 miles) and moved into presentation. Currently he is the weekday evening presenter.

There is, however, another side to Neil Caddy. Last year he was the UK's second fastest British athlete over a mile and the AAA Silver medallist at 1500 meters. 2000 will be a critical year for Neil Caddy in the world of athletics, but in the last two years Neil has ensured that whatever happens he has a career in radio to fall back on.
