Howard Bowles presented occasional Country Music shows on Orchard FM and was one of the original team. He started out as "Sales Director" and later became the "Managing Director", a position that he held for several years.

Howard saw through the change of ownership to GWR Group PLC and accepted an offer from UKRD (another radio group in the UK) to join them as Managing Director.

Before Howard left Orchard FM we were treated to one of his "Country Music Specials".
