Sims to leave BBC
Over the last six months I have been hinting heavily that I expected to leave the BBC in 2008. I’ve been with the corporation for 22 years working in Belfast in Radio Ulster - across a range of genres - and Radio 1 and Radio 4 in London. There was even a bit of TV for a short while until I came to my senses. For the last 10 years I’ve been in New Media where I have led the team since 2001.
The escape committee was formed, plans were laid and a tunnel has been dug. So barring any unexpected alarm bells and over zealous camp guards, I’m outta here.
Dates are to be confirmed and final plans are to be laid. But it’s time to go.
Now there’s a leaving party i want an invite to. Sad to see you go davy. Who will take us to the crown now?!

Sorry to hear you are leaving the Beeb. Likely you’ll pop up somewhere interesting! Darryl

Come and join us! The air is much more bracing on the outside!
Best of luck, not that you’ll need it…

Thanks for the email Davy and thanks for throwing me the work last year (more so for finally getting me paid). What’s next for you then?
Hope you enjoy life outside the beeb! Take care!
