Siobhan Kenny, Radiocentre CEO, said: “We look forward to working with Nicky and Nigel as we welcome them to the exciting world of radio. Competition in the audio world is fiercer than ever and we have worked hard with successive Ministers to ensure  that commercial radio is in the best possible position to appeal to listeners across the country.

“I want to pay tribute to Margot James who has been a great friend of commercial radio and helped to unlock its potential. Margot was particularly supportive of our recent work helping to boost new young talent and increase the diversity of our industry.”
