ABOUT ME
THOMAS ASHLEY STOCKTING
Having graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Journalism Studies from the University of Sheffield, I went from managing a local pub to working as an all round Broadcast Journalist at Falkland Islands Television (FITV) in the South Atlantic.
It has been a fantastic opportunity to combine my eagerness to travel and allowed me to hone the skills I learnt at university as well as giving me the freedom to keep learning.
Thanks to freelance experience at BBC, ITV and Falkland Islands Radio (FIRS) I have a rounded set of skills which would see me integrate and grow with whatever role I embark upon.
