As a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.corporatephotography.london\">corporate photographer in London<\/a> I have been previously asked on many occasions to attend and take all the official photographs for the company who stage this event, Best Companies.<\/p>\n<p>More information is within the artical here:<\/p>\n<p>UKRD \u201cBest Company\u201d and gains 2015 Sunday Times Top 100 listing<\/p>\n<p>12:11pm 5th January 2015<\/p>\n<p>Private owned radio operator, UKRD Group, has been told this week that it has once again been accredited with an \u201cextraordinary\u201d Three Star Rating for 2015 by the Best Companies organisation and has also been notified that it will definitely have a place on the 2015 Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For listings.<br \/>\nThe confirmation came as Chief Executive Officer, William Rogers, wrote to each team across the company confirming that they had had their best ever start to a financial year, \u201cbreaking all previous revenue and profit records through the first quarter ending in December 2014.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThe news of our recognition for the sixth year in a row as an \u201cextraordinary\u201d Three Star company to work for, as rated by the Best Companies organisation, is testament to the fantastic managers and teams we have working right across the company and, whilst we won\u2019t know what position in the Sunday Times 100 Best Company lists we hold until the end of February, it\u2019s great to be told in advance that we\u2019ve gained a top 100 listing for the sixth year in a row,\u201d said Rogers.<br \/>\nUKRD has been accredited the Number 1 spot by The Sunday Times 100 Best Companies lists in each of the last four years from 2011 through to 2014, with Rogers himself being given a \u201cSpecial Award\u201d as the \u201cBest Leader\u201d of a Sunday Times 100 Best Companies mid-sized company for each of the last three years.<br \/>\n\u201cWe\u2019ve had a superb start to our trading year,\u201d he said. \u201cTwo of our stations, Yorkshire Coast Radio and Wessex FM, appear in the top three local stations with the highest Reach figures in England, our revenues have delivered strong growth right across the portfolio and our profits are seeing very good growth indeed.\u201d<br \/>\nRogers said, \u201cthe local focus is truly paying off and we are seeing the clearest evidence yet that when you deliver truly local radio to an audience that is keen to be served by the kind of committed teams we have in all our stations, the results feed through. Genuinely local commercial radio is a success story and I\u2019m immensely proud that UKRD remains true to the principles of local radio for local people delivered by locally based and focussed teams.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is great news to hear that one of my clients UKRD who own various radio stations in the UK have had the notification that they have made the grade again this year to be at The Sunday Times 100 &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/alternativeimages.co.uk\/blog\/client-in-the-running-again-for-2015\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,5],"tags":[94,25,23],"class_list":["post-651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-company-news","category-events","tag-event-photographer","tag-sunday-times","tag-ukrd"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alternativeimages.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alternativeimages.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alternativeimages.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alternativeimages.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alternativeimages.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=651"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/alternativeimages.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":652,"href":"https:\/\/alternativeimages.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651\/revisions\/652"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alternativeimages.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alternativeimages.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alternativeimages.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
