Emma Lovell
Having lived in Hertfordshire for around 50 years I am passionate about our county and all it has to offer. Local community radio has an integral part to play in bringing communities together and helping to share, connect, support and celebrate all things local. My previous experience includes working as a community musician and music therapist, with local authorities in Hertfordshire and currently with the NHS. I hope to bring a range of experiences and transferable skills to the role of Director.

Elly O'Meara
Elly's professional career was moving people around the world for corporates, with everything that entailed - from tax, social security, immigration & pensions, to logistics of actually getting individuals and their families settled into a new country. She left her final corporate job in 2020, and decided to look for volunteer opportunities and Mix (formerly Radio Verulam) crossed her path. Having never worked in the media and broadcasting industry, she decided to give it a go - not on the presenting side of course, but to help from a volunteer perspective and to join the board to help run the business. Then she was hooked! After a year, she did her debut show on air (an hour on a Monday evening) and hasn't looked back since!

When not pursuing his passion for radio, Iain spends his time volunteering in Harpenden, acting with local am-dram groups and walking around Hertfordshire with his cavapoo, Millie.
