Kev Lawrence, PCR fm’s Breakfast Presenter said: “We are thrilled to be recognised with these prestigious awards. This is a first for me, I am so proud of the wonderful team at PCRFM, and I want to thank all our advertisers, supporters, listeners and volunteers, which without this would not be possible. It has certainly been a challenging last 12 months we look forward to even bigger and better things in 2022.”
Wayne Fitzgerald, a founding director at PCR fm, said: “We are delighted with this industry recognition alongside many other stations who are doing great work across the UK community radio sector.
