As a communications professional, Jason Tanner acquired very broad knowledge in politics, democracy, monarchy, free speech, heritage, conservation, tourism, entertainment, volunteering, consumer rights and cancer research. At ICRF (now Cancer Research UK, he felt privileged to work with research scientists overseen by Nobel Prize-winner Sir Paul Nurse and to work directly with Tim Keys. During this early temporary placement, Jason media launched epidemiological research that in its time revealed 5 pieces of fruit or vegetables per day could reduce risks of serious conditions including bowel cancer.
Jason was the last Chief Press Officer for the National Trust before a major reorganisation saw it move its London HQ to Swindon . Amongst many projects, Jason revealed to the world's media the Trust's acquisition of a rare survival of 'slum housing' in Birmingham and was part of the team that worked with Sir Anthony Hopkins on a race to save Snowdon for the nation some 20 plus years ago.

When the Trust relocated, Jason headed up media relations for Dame Elisabeth Hoodless at CSV (now Volunteering Matters) and worked closely with key national journalists on a project that placed pioneering volunteers within the families of children at risk. He also headed a talented team that put volunteers squarely on the map as CSV took the lead on the Year of the Volunteer, 2005 leading to the climactic efforts of the Olympic Volunteers of 2012. He also dealt with the enormous international media attention generated when the government of the time launched its ill-fated Big Society. He started the first 5 years of his career working as a radio journalist for both BBC Southern Counties and as the Senior Broadcast Journalist at Mercury FM & Mercury Extra, now subsumed by Global.
