A local radio station is celebrating winning at the Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) Bedfordshire Awards for its Bedford Business Expo event.
Now in its seventh year, SME Bedfordshire Business Awards, celebrates the success of businesses with under 250 employees in the local area.
Bedford Radio scooped the Silver Award win for Business Innovation in recognition of their inaugural Expo, held at King’s House in March. The event attracted around 50 businesses, organisations and charities with more than 250 attendees.
Station manager, Martin Steers said: ‘The Expo was an outstanding success and we are still receiving positive feedback from exhibitors and visitors.
“For us to receive this award is a great achievement for our team of volunteers who put this together, and shows that Bedford Radio adds value to the business community in Bedford.’
Planning has already started for Bedford Business Expo 2024, which will again be held at King’s House on Tuesday, 12 March 2024.
Martin promises that next year’s event will be “bigger, better and bolder” and expressions of interest are now open for any business or organisation who might want to secure a stall when bookings open.

“We can not wait for the Bedford Business Expo 2024,” said Martin.
“Supporting local businesses is a core part of what we want to do with Bedford Radio as the local radio station for Bedford, and we hope businesses will be keen to return that support, by promoting the station and advertising with us to reach local audiences when we launch on DAB.”
The station is looking to launch on local DAB across Bedford soon and is currently recruiting and training volunteer presenters to take on a variety of shows to entertain, inform, and engage everyone across Bedford Borough.
Anyone interested in getting involved with Bedford Radio should head to their website bedford.radio and any businesses interested in future events, or advertising on the station should visit bedford.radio/advertise.
