Spectrum On Air

New Radio Station Launched - April 2021

Spectrum On Air 

Aims to reflect the passion and professionalism of its presenters, who come from a variety of backgrounds, each reflecting varying levels of experience. We believe in giving established presenters a home, emerging presenters a broadcasting platform and emerging performers a showcase for their talents. We have a family ethos that encourages mutual support and growth. Our door is always open.  Why not look at our Schedule - you'll be surprised where our Presenters are from, Iran, Canada, Australia, America - showcasing #northernsoul #synthwave, #newmusic and topical discussions from around the world with our very own #grumpies delivered to us weekly to share with you!  Not to mention the lovely Mike Read's The Heritage Chart where each week a brand-new Number 1 will be announced on Sundays at 5pm - just like the good old days of TOTP (Top Of The Pops - for those who don't know!)  Even more exciting we are partnering with Radio4Business; where our team will come to your team for a day, we will show your team  how to create a Radio Show which will be broadcast live later in the day! Suzanne's show is regularly charted between number 4-10 in the global #synthwave Chart.

Milton Keynes business shortlisted for South East UK StartUp Award 2024

www.spectrumonair.com 

Milton Keynes based startup Spectrum On Air has been named a finalist ahead of the South East Regional final of the StartUp Awards.

The UK StartUp Awards was launched to recognise the booming start-up scene across the UK which has accelerated over the last few years with over 900,000 new businesses founded in the UK in 2023, a 12% increase from the year before.

Over 900 businesses have been shortlisted for this year’s UK StartUp Awards and the contribution of these firms - all of which were started in the last three years - is significant, having created nearly 6,000 new jobs since they were established and generating annual sales of £480 million.

Spectrum On Air is an Internet Radio Station  founded by Suzanne Letting, Mick Bannister, Anthony Ingledow  in 2021. The business has been nominated for the Media & Entertainment StartUp of the Year  Award in the South East Region.

Suzanne Letting, founder of Spectrum On Air, said: “This is amazing news, it goes without saying that all of us involved with the Radio Station are passionate about supporting emerging Artists across the UK and Globally.  We’ve worked tirelessly to bring a fresh approach to Broadcasting and encouraged participation from all music genres in partnering with likeminded platforms, we are indeed bringing colour to the airwaves.

Supported nationally by ScoreApp, GS1 UK, Starling Bank, OVHcloud, GiftRound, Airwallex, the programme will celebrate the achievements of the amazing individuals who have turned an idea into an opportunity and taken the risk to launch a new product or service.

The cohort of finalists will be considered for the regional prizes by a panel of seasoned judges with experience founding or supporting entrepreneurial ventures. The winners from each region will then be invited to the first UK final taking place at Ideas Fest, the Glastonbury for Business festival in Tring, Hertfordshire on 12th September 2024.

 Professor Dylan Jones-Evans OBE, the creator of the UK StartUp Awards, said:

“​​Start-up businesses are the lifeblood of any economy, being responsible for new jobs, innovation and wealth creation across the UK. All the finalists this year represent the best of those entrepreneurs who have spotted an opportunity and through their sheer hard work, talent and perseverance, have created amazing new businesses that are creating real impact in their sectors. Building on the success of previous years, we are now looking to identify the ‘best of the best’ with all the finalists who win their category in their region going on to represent their region at the first ever UK National StartUp Awards final later this year”.

 The UK StartUp Awards was created in collaboration with the team behind the Great British Entrepreneur Awards, one of the most successful awards programmes in the UK. The UK StartUp Awards are running for the third year after launching in 2022.

Testimonials

"In 2009 Willen Hospice undertook it's first Midnight Walk which involved 1000 women walking 10 miles in the dead of night around the red-way paths of Milton Keynes. The logistics of this event, the management of risk and detailed preparation was a high priority. The Hospice engaged Spectrum Recruitment Limited to provide staff to marshal the event alongside Volunteers from the Hospice. The level of commitment to the task and the charity from David Bridge in the planning and preparation for this event was immense; I was particularly impressed by his attention to detail and professional attitude; the essential sense of humour was also very apparent. The commitment continued through to the event and its successful conclusion on the night. It was a pleasure to work with David and the Team from Spectrum and I look forward to the potential of working again in the future."

Willen Hospice, client

"I would like to highly recommend Suzanne Letting, and the team at Spectrum Recruitment in Flitwick when looking for employment.  Spectrum Recruitment goes the extra mile to make sure they work with every person as an individual.

They kept me fully updated on what was happening with each role by email and telephone calls they put me forward for.I really appreciated them for this.

I would like to say a big thank you for all your help and support over the past months to help me find my dream role".

One word that sums up Spectrum Recruitment - Marvellous.

Sarah Jane, candidate

"Spectrum has proved to be a responsive, credible and reliable consultancy over the past few months and weeks.

Our industry is currently experiencing rapid changes where temporary staff are being used to deliver our core services. I do not have the time to source and interview from a pool of people - Sarah does this all for me.

I consider Spectrum / Sarah as the recruitment arm of my centre and rely upon their recommendations. Now with a total of 12 temps, they’ve delivered with the best local talent and excellent candidates my centre needs, thus allowing me to now focus on driving this business forward".

Seetec, client

"They have assisted us in a number of areas of our business, on both a short term and long term basis.  During our relationship with Spectrum Recruitment we have always found them to be interested and enthused in what we do, and they have taken a genuine interest in providing the right people for our needs.  The level of account management support has been well above what we expected, and the calibre of personnel they have provided us with has been excellent.  I would have no hesitation in recommending Spectrum Recruitment to your business."

Apcoa Parking Ltd, Luton Airport, client

"We had the pleasure of working with the team of professionals at Spectrum on our recent Midnight Walk event in Bedford.  Marshalling a ten mile route, with hundreds of ladies, at Midnight, through Bedford Town Centre is a challenging enough task for any project manager.  But, couple that with managing a team of volunteers as well as your own team and it takes a dedicated and well organised individual to pull it off.  The team from Spectrum were a group of high-calibre, well-prepared and well-chosen professionals.  The evening was a great success, and in great part that was due to the preparation and planning of the team.  We look forward to working with them again on our Midnight Walk events next year."

Keech Cottage, client

"I just wanted to say thank you for your help and support and it has been a pleasure talking to you and dealing with Spectrum.  You always kept me fully updated on what was happening and I really appreciated that."

There will be some exclusive foodie concessions to eat at, a full bar and for the children we are planning a Magical Story arena, a silent Cinema area, face painting plus a few more awaiting confirmation.  Live music will come from the many local Artists we have been working with for Ampthill Festival plus some exciting new Artists I have been interviewing on Secklow105.5fm. We are looking for corporate sponsorship as follows – VIP Tickets will be for the VIP Tables in the Marquee for the evening performances.  There are only 8 Tables seating 8 people available.  Early bird Tickets will be going out in December so we wanted to give our potential Sponsorship Partners the opportunity of those seats first.
