South Glos Man is New UK Voice of TomTom

News direct from TomTom UK:

Alan Medroft from South Gloucestershire will be the new UK voice of TomTom sat nav after winning a nationwide competition. Members of the public were invited to record a 30 second video of themselves telling a story about traffic in a campaign fronted by the actor Brian Blessed - whose own booming voice was recently released.

Alan, a 34 year old Sales & Marketing Executive from Stoke Gifford, will join a long line of celebrities who've lent their voices to navigation instructions - including John Cleese, Billy Connolly, Homer Simpson and Darth Vader from Star Wars. He will record the 52 commands in a studio next Monday and it will be available to download in the New Year, as a free alternative to the standard computer voice.

He also wins a New Renault M?gane Coup? Cabriolet with built-in TomTom sat nav.
