June Rowlands

Broadcaster, blogger, shopaholic and the oldest deadlifter in town, June has headed up the Girls Around Town team since Radio Newark was first launched in November 2013.

With her background in PR, marketing and events management for both the East Midlands Tourist Board and Newark & Sherwood District Council, she knows – and is known by! – just about everyone in and around the town, which comes in pretty useful when she’s lining up guests for the show.

In addition to producing and presenting Girls Around Town most Sunday mornings, she puts her writing and PR skills to good use promoting the show through its own website (www.girlsaroundtownonline.com), Facebook page and Twitter feed. 

When she’s not prepping or presenting the shows, shopping or planning her next trip to Italy, June can usually be found in her ‘home away from home’, Suggy’s Gym, where she’s trained with The Boss since February 2012 and been his media manager for almost as long.

Despite her size and her age (don’t ask, it’s a closely-guarded secret), she’s no stranger to lifting heavy weights and has recently developed a left hook some of the gym’s professional fighters would be proud of. Not someone you want to upset – you have been warned…
