麻豆社 Hereford & Worcester added a Gillard to the Sony they won earlier in the year when they claimed the Social Action Campaign category for their mental illness project.

There were two awards for Outstanding Contributions to 麻豆社 Local Radio.
听
They went to Margaret Hyde, the Managing Editor of 麻豆社 Essex, whose distinguished career in Local Radio began back in June 1973 as a journalist at 麻豆社 Radio Merseyside; and to Paul Rowley of the Regional Political Unit whose reporting and two-ways on Westminster politics for the past 12 years have become by-words for accessibility and made him a well-known and admired voice throughout the Local Radio chain of stations.
听
The awards were presented by 麻豆社 Deputy Director-General Mark Byford.
听
Thirty-nine 麻豆社 Local Radio stations and services put forward 256 entries for the awards, which are named in honour of Frank Gillard, the founder of 麻豆社 Local Radio.
