Simon Beaumont
I assumed the role of Morning Program Presenter at 882 in January 2007, having worked in current affairs radio as a reporter, producer and occasional presenter since 2001, when I joined Liam Bartlett’s Morning Program at the ABC in Perth.
I had a passion for breaking the news and local issues that impact Perth and WA, recognising that radio was the best and most immediate medium of choice for not only the listeners, but the agenda setters and people in power.
With a background in sports reporting, I have worked at the last two Olympic Games in Press Operations, and have worked extensively as a triathlon coach, sports journalist and commentator. I currently operate and own a small communications business, specialising in ground commentary at fun runs, triathlons, swimming and cycling events.
