Until April this year, Geoff reported on disability stories for the BBC News website, radio and TV, and also worked as a trainer overseas.  He is also gaining a considerable reputation as a public speaker. 

He recently left the BBC to set up Geoff Adams-Spink Ltd, a company that markets his services as a writer, broadcaster, consultant and trainer – especially in the field of assistive technology.

He was born with physical and visual impairments as a result of Thalidomide.

His career as a journalist began 22 years ago. He has since produced Radio 4’s Today programme and spent 18 months as a project director for a media-training programme in Rwanda. In his time working as an international journalist Geoff has never stopped being surprised at the inventive ideas all children are capable of producing.
