Ronald Sturt started his career as a Chemist just before the war, but "fled the scene". He later became an accountancy assistant for about ten years and then moved into what he calls his life long love- librarianship. He later became a founder of the Talking Newspaper Association in the UK.

Ronald Sturt set up a new college of librarianship in Aberystwyth in Cardiganshire, where he came across whilst on a study tour in Sweden a tape being reproduced for blind people to listen to the news. He was intrigued by this concept and set about planning how it could be introduced into the UK.
