Neil Nunes

Neil Nunes is a British continuity announcer on BBC Radio 4 and the BBC World Service. He began working on Radio 4 in a freelance capacity in 2006.

Neil Nunes was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and brought up in the parish of Manchester.^[1]

While studying for a degree in biology, he became involved with the university radio station as a presenter. He then went on to work as a newsreader and reporter for radio networks in the Dutch Caribbean while at the same time serving as a correspondent for the BBC Caribbean Service.^[1]

Nunes joined the BBC World Service as a producer and presenter of current affairs programmes. As of September 2009^[update], he reads world news bulletins on the World Service in addition to his Radio 4 continuity work.
