Su Harrison leaves Essex breakfast slot after 24 years with Martin Day

Su Harrison is leaving Radio Essex breakfast after 24 years since starting on the radio with Martin Day.

Martin and Su were first put together on Essex FM in 2000, before the station was rebranded to Heart in 2009.

Due to networking at local radio stations and cuts, Martin and Su were then left without a home in May 2019 before Radio Essex signed them up.

PD Chris Brooks told RadioToday that Radio Essex has a new line up for 2025. He said: “Martin Day will continue to wake up Essex but with a newly formatted show, other changes to the schedule include Jack Burke from 10am, the 1pm slot will be filled by Lauren Underwood and Chris Brooks continues at drive with Joe Kinch on evenings.

“Chris and Scott will be kicking off the weekend from Friday at 4pm, and listeners will continue to be entertained by Ross and John every Saturday and Sunday morning, followed by Conor Knight at 10am.

“This does however mean that Su Harrison will be leaving the station. Su has been a valued member of the Radio Essex team for many years and we will miss her voice on the airwaves.

“We are excited to bring the new schedule to life, and of course wish Su all the best in her next chapter.”
