Chris Hughes

He is proud to be part of HHR, and as Engineer for many years has build a couple of studios, an OB caravan and fixed countless headphones!!

Although predominantly a behind the scenes guy, Chris had an opportunity to work with Mark Baker in the late '1990's on the legendary Saturday night request programme, from these early days he now can be found hosting the weekday breakfast show at HHR.

Chris has been for many years the external face of HHR to those in Hereford. He followed in the footsteps of George Burton and Roger Smith, as the charity's  Chairman steering HHR through the uncharted waters of one of the UK's first private finance initiative in the Health Sector at Hereford's County Hospital. That journey is almost complete, and Chris has recently steered HHR to obtain funding and the necessary licenses to allow the Station to be heard outside of the hospitals, so former patients or those waiting for treatment elsewhere can listen at home.

Very recently Chris was very proud to help George Cooper and the Hat Band who were raising money for St Michaels Hospice by hosting a series of concerts at the Courtyard. These concerts were recorded, and broadcast on HHR the following evening. The concerts at the Courtyard, Hereford and the Wyeside Arts Centre, Builth Wells have raised over £25k for the Hospice.
