As Programme Controller at Capital Radio Richard hired Neil Fox, Pete Tong, Tim Westwood and Jakki Brambles. Richard has also been Director of Wildstar Records since 1996, responsible for signing Craig David amongst other British stars. The Richard Park Consultancy opened in 2001 as a cross-media company working with TV, Radio, Press, Advertising Agencies and the Record Industry. In 2002 Park Management launched representing artists, writers, producers and jingle writers. Park Records, a joint venture with Universal Music, followed in 2003.
Richard began his career as a reporter on his local newspaper, the Fife News, before his first job in radio as a presenter with both BBC Scotland and BBC Radio 1. In 1974 he became presenter of music and sport at Radio Clyde and branched into other areas of the media during the mid-70s with a column in the Scottish Daily Express and presenting jobs on Scottish Television. Richard became Head of Entertainment and Sport at Radio Clyde before joining Capital in 1987. During these years, he won many awards including Sony Broadcaster of the Year in 1983; Best Sports Presenter at the New York Radio Festival in 1984; and Scottish Radio and TV Programme of the Year in 1985. On joining Capital, Richard was responsible for developing the station into two separate outputs – Capital FM and Capital Gold. He also launched the first annual awards lunch in aid of Help A London Child. He was appointed Director of Programmes for the Capital Group of stations in 1994.
He was made a Fellow of the Radio Academy in 1993 and the following year was awarded the IMF British Music Roll of Honour to recognise his outstanding contribution to British music. Between 1998 and 2001, Richard was also Chairman of the Prince’s Trust ‘Party In The Park’ committee.”
Anyone but him. Compared to him, Richard is likeable. Waterman is the most arrogant t**t on the planet imo.
