The team at Mentor is proud to announce a major step forward for media and communication skills training in South West England. Mentor Media Training has teamed up with Fresh Air Studios in Plymouth to offer new, city-centre TV and radio training facilities: providing expert coaching to organisations across Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset.
This regional expansion is led by Christopher Slade, former BBC South West Spotlight presenter and co-founder of the hugely successful production company Two Four Group. With five decades of experience in broadcast journalism and corporate communications, Chris brings a deep understanding of how to deliver messages under pressure, whether on air, in a boardroom or during a crisis.
Our enhanced support for the South West makes it easier than ever for leaders, spokespeople, and comms teams to access CPD-standard training, tailored to the challenges of today’s fast-moving media environment. From high-pressure interviews and stakeholder messaging to content creation and conference delivery, Chris and the team help clients communicate with clarity, credibility and confidence.
Chris will be joined by Victoria Mizzi, a highly experienced media trainer and former BBC Radio Devon journalist who has supported a wide range of organisations, including the Armed Forces and NATO.
Mentor’s Managing Director Dave Mason, himself an ex-Westcountry TV and DevonAir Radio presenter, said:
“Christopher and Victoria’s insight, experience, and connection with the region make them a powerful team. We’re delighted to extend our high-impact training offer even further across the South West.”
As demand rises for trusted coaching in media engagement, public speaking, stakeholder communication and crisis planning, our mission remains the same: to help people tell their stories with impact and support organisations in maintaining their hard-earned reputations.
