Success At The HBA Awards

Last night at the HBA Awards in Glasgow, Radio Northwick Park scooped two Gold awards for Special Event (Under One Sky) and Best Male Presenter (David Reece).

On top of our other nominated entries including Best Female Presenter and Station of the Year, 2010 is shaping up to be a great year for us.

Congratulations to David for winning the prestigious award and becoming the best presenter in the UK. And a big thanks to Ben Punter for putting together our Special Event entry as well as overseeing all our nominated ones.

On David’s winning entry, the judges said “Up, engaging and fresh – David clearly stood out from the rest in this category. All of the judges loved the moving story from the patient too. They felt his presentation style was perfect for the target audience, warm, friendly and ideal for the hospital environment.”

For our Special Event entry which was highlights from our day at Under One Sky in June last year, one judge said “This entry has everything for me. Excitement, surprises and a real sense of community – pushing the boundaries of traditional hospital radio.”
