Charles Vincent Anstey Duggleby MBE (born 23 January 1939) was a presenter of the long-running personal finance series on BBC Radio 4, Money Box[1] until 2014. An expert on UK paper money, Duggleby published a reference work on the subject which is now in its 9th edition.[2]
Career[edit]
Duggleby was a member of the BBC Sport news division from 1963 and 1970, where he also presented Sports Session and Sports Report on BBC Radio.[3][4] In the 1970s he was a deputy news editor for BBC Radio 4 working on News Desk and The World Tonight and later editor of the BBC’s Financial Unit. In 1974 he commissioned The Financial World Tonight [5] and in 1977, recognising that matters of personal finance were overlooked by the media, launched Money Box.[6] He was a regular presenter on Money Box between 1981 and 2014 and in 1990 launched Money Box Live.
Personal life[edit]
He married Elizabeth Frost in Totnes, south Devon, in 1964. They have two daughters (born in 1966 and 1968). His eldest daughter has worked for BBC News.[7] He lives in Torquay.
