Roy Stannard has made an impact on a variety of sectors - from the Media to Insurance to Recruitment to Advertising - but is probably best known for being the Founder MD of 107.7 Splash FM in Worthing which commenced broadcasting in 2003.

After leaving teaching (Worthing High School and Thomas Bennett Community School, Crawley) in 1985 he worked in the recruitment industry for six years before moving into advertising, first in Eastbourne with GSBA Ltd and later with AWP Communications in Chichester.

In his spare time he worked with David Cunningham to set up Worthing Hospital Radio which spawned a bid for a full-time licence for Brighton in 1995/96 as New Wave Broadcasting.

107.7 Splash FM became Worthing’s very own radio station on the 5th September 2002 and started to broadcast on May 5th 2003 from studios in the centre of the town.

In January 2003 he took on the role of MD of Splash FM with the task of taking it to air in May. After three enjoyable years, the call of the wild beckoned again. In September 2006 he took over Spring Marketing as MD - a company he set up with two partners in Nov 05. Roy Stannard was also the Founder Chairman of the Worthing Business Partnership -Worthing First – set up in Nov 04 to drive the future economic success of Worthing. At around the same time he sat on the Board of the Worthing Evolution Masterplan – the blueprint for development in the town centre for the next decade.

In March 2009 Roy Stannard was invited to join a company that he had some part in creating the original marketing blueprint for – Powerchange Ltd (www.powerchange.com) and was invited to come on board and take this personal development and training company to the next level. Because Powerchange specialises in auto-response psychology (anything where you might say ‘I just can’t help it’) this meant specialising in the hidden processes that drive what we do and say – sometimes without our realising it.

Roy finished a course of study leading to Practitioner status – and now work with individuals, organisations, schools and companies. The success rate is very high – areas covered and helped successfully so far have included: Claustrophobia, smoking addiction, drinking, fear of heights, depression, childhood trauma, fear of driving, family relationship breakdown, interview phobia, poor communication skills, clutter, OCD syndrome and many more.

He is married to Lindy and has two sons, Callum and Dominic. He lives in the Tarring part of Worthing.
