UKRD Group Ltd is a multi media company operating throughout the United Kingdom that owns and operates 16 local commercial radio stations. They have been positioned 1st in 2011, 2012 and again making the hat-trick in 2013 at The Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For Awards.

The Sunday Times list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For is compiled from the views of employees and the policies of employers. Using a methodology now in its eleventh year and designed exclusively for the British workplace, it identifies best practice defined by performance in eight key indicators of workplace engagement, covering staff opinions on their leadership, their manager, immediate colleagues, pay and benefits, wellbeing, the firm’s willingness to give something back, people’s personal development and overall sense of affiliation with their employers.

The UKRD group is headed by their CEO Mr William Rogers who has commissioned for the third year in succession Peter Austin of Alternative Images to produce framed pictures for all of the individual radio stations. A montage of images that were taken on stage receiving the awards has been designed by Peter to include the individual radio station logo along side the UKRD logo.

 As a corporate photographer Peter has covered the awards evenings held by Best Companies in association with The Sunday Times for the past eight years being a regular spot in his diary.
