 '''Aled Haydn Jones''' was the daytime producer and later producer of [[The Chris Moyles Show]].
 Aled was born on August 9th 1976 in Aberystwyth, West Wales. His family owned one of the town's most popular cafes - Caffi Morgan - and he lived with his parents above the premises. A fluent Welsh-speaker, Aled went to Ysgol Gymraeg Aberystwyth (a Welsh language primary school), before going on to the town's Welsh-medium secondary school, Ysgol Gyfun Penweddig.
 Aled began his career in radio at the age of just 14, presenting on hospital radio. He then moved onto community radio, helping out local station Radio Ceredigion when it launched in 1992. After leaving school the same year, Aled signed up for a course in computer programming at his local college, but left soon after to do a BTEC qualification in Media Studies at Swansea College instead.
