James St Aubyn - Non-Executive Director

Glenn Aaronson - Non-Executive Director

My involvement in the company began one evening at an ice hockey match. Vice-Chairman John Hepburn told me about a wonderful local radio company that he had been involved in for the last three years. Being American, the concept sounded fascinating and I made a minor investment. My family and I regularly listened to Eagle Radio during that time and even visited the studios.

The takeover of TLRC impressed upon me that UKRD was not simply going to pull through the recession, but be a consolidator within the industry. As a result, I made a larger investment in the company and so joined the board.
