Clarity Broadcast presents Howard Bentham, a freelance stadium announcer, radio & TV presenter & newsreader, MC host and voiceover.

 

However Howard has not always been the man in front of the microphone or camera.

 

After taking a Post Graduate Certificate in Education at The University of Birmingham and qualifying as a teacher Howard worked in the city for three years in the early 1990s. An opportunity too good to miss came his way in the business world and Howard found himself heading up the sales operation for a national office furniture manufacturer.

 

After four really successful years in sales he headed back to teaching – this time - in Stratford upon Avon to become Head of History at a local Prep School.

Meantime Howard started voluntary work at Dudley Hospital Radio which quickly led to his first professional shows on WABC Classic Gold in Wolverhampton.

 

He soon moved to The Bear 102 in Stratford upon Avon ultimately landing the Breakfast gig on the station in early 2001.

 

Away from the studio Howard played top-flight National League Hockey and Birmingham League Cricket and this proved tremendous experience for later broadcasting and stadium announcing work. Howard enjoyed a long stint as the main freelance presenter on BBC Radio 5Live Sports Extra and has provided the stadium voice for World Cup Rugby Union, Olympic Hockey and Test Match Cricket. He is currently the regular announcer at Bath Rugby.
