Description: Sally Boazman is well known to listeners of BBC Radio 2 for her travel reports and regular chats on the Chris Evans, Steve Wright and Jeremy Vine shows where she is affectionately known as "Sally Traffic". She has become a national cult figure, and is even known as the patron saint of road users!
She has been voted one of the most attractive female voices on UK radio in a Radio Times poll, coming in at number 4, beating most of the top personalities in UK radio and topping the poll on BBC Radio 2.
Sally Boazman has worked as an actress, in current affairs at LWT, The Automobile Association, working at AA Roadwatch and broadcasting traffic news to many stations, followed by BFBS and the BBC World Service. BBC Greater London Radio then beckoned and she became their chief travel reporter, writing and delivering scripts for both radio and Newsroom South East.
Having then moved to BBC Radio 2 in 1998 she took up the role as the station’s first designated travel reporter, and quickly became the butt of insults and innuendo from her fellow presenters. However, her shoulders are broad, and she continues to enjoy what she considers a very special job. She was awarded an Outstanding Achievement Award on behalf of all the UK Truckers for her traffic news on BBC Radio 2.
Sally's talents do not stop at broadcasting. She is an accomplished writer as well as an outstanding singer. The Sally Traffic Handbook – full of facts, fun and frolics was published in 2007. She is a popular guest at the Truckfest events which are held throughout the country, meeting in person the truckers who listen to her everyday and ring in to her hotline number.
Her popularity means she is in demand for voice overs (Land Rover, Cadbury and even Status Quo) and corporate events (The Road Haulage Association, Eddie Stobart Trucks, Scania and Rolls Royce).
