“Radio is a people business and I’m delighted to strengthen the quality of the Share output with such talented broadcasters. The new appointments will broaden the appeal of the channel and make us a must-listen for anyone with even half an interest in business, money and investments.  It’s been an extremely successful four months since launch. Being recognised at this year’s Headlinemoney Media Awards is also a great achievement and we’re really honoured. Our aim was to create a varied and engaging radio station that helps people feel better informed and able to make financial decisions. Within months we have changed the media landscape and are being listened to in the City, by our colleagues in the media – and most importantly by Londoners.”
