The ceremony took place at the Radisson hotel at Stansted Airport in Essex and was attended by radio, TV and press journalists from across the Eastern region.

Mark is no stranger to awards.Ìý He was named News Broadcaster of the Year at the Sony Awards (commonly known as the Oscars of the UK radio industry) in 2003.Ìý Ironically, this was partly in acknowledgement of Mark's grilling of EDF Energy following the storms of 2002 which left thousands of homes without electricity!

Mark was described by the judges as "showing great depth as a journalist. He tackled tough subjects and lighter ones - moving between them with aplomb. He sounded in control of a range of subjects and was summed up as an accomplished act."

After collecting the latest award,Ìý Mark praised his colleagues "Although the award has my name on it, it belongs to the whole Breakfast show team and everyone who works towards the programme, I couldn't do it without them."
