Back in December Alison Davies from Essex Savers.net Credit Union came into Phoenix to tell us the good news that a new credit union branch was to open in Brentwood. Well we had some more good news today, There’s another new credit union branch in Billericay!

To tell us all about it I was pleased to welcome the vicar of Christ Church Billericay, Warner Pidgeon, along with one of the people responsible for getting the project going, Nick Brennan. It was also the welcome return of Alison Davies, president of Essex Savers.Net credit union.

Finally it was time to say goodbye to Pip

Philippa Allen

Pip has been helping us out for the last 4 weeks while on work placement from university. I’m sure I speak for all of the Phoenix FM daytime presenters when I say a big thank you Pippa for all of your help, and good luck with your studies.

Pip staged a bit of a takeover today and took over driving the desk for a while. I ended up as a guest on my own show! Here’s a bit of our chat – Pippa
