Dino Mancini

Position: Chairperson

Dino’s fascination with radio dates to his childhood and, other than for security, he would have ventured into commercial radio when he left school. Fast forward several decades on, finding himself living across the road from Henley Cottage, with the ever-present temptation to knock on the door. Another eight years passed until his retirement before he did. He was so welcomed and quickly attained exposure to literally all facets of the business, though still grasping for the technical.
