He has been with Pocket-lint for more than a decade and, as well as being in charge of news for the site, contributes features and reviews, especially when it comes to gaming and home entertainment. In previous roles, he has worked on and edited Home Cinema Choice and various videogames magazines, such as Your Commodore and Amstrad Computer User. He has also had his own games column in the Metro newspaper.
Rik's TV and radio career has seen him produce and/or present on many shows, including GamesMaster, Sky One’s Games World, Sky News Swipe, BBC Radio Humberside, The Apprentice and Channel 5’s Greatest Christmas TV Ads.
