AN EVENTS company has been making waves at a prestigious event for the radio industry.

JTA Creative Communications, in Ombersley, near Worcester, played a pivotal role in the successful production of the Radio Festival, in Birmingham, earlier this month.

The high profile event offered people in the radio industry the opportunity to hear topical presentations from some of the top names in Music Radio, including, BBC director general Greg Dyke and the Rt Hon Clare Short MP.

This year, the festival returned to the International Convention Centre, in Birmingham, and Brian Darnley, director of video and events at JTA, was asked to be festival technical director for the fourth year running.

"The Radio Academy is a highly regarded organisation," said Mr Darnley.

JTA Creative Communications, previously known as Jones Tomlinson Associates, is expanding and has taken on two new people. The new recruits are Suzanne Wells, business development manager, and Sally Price, production co-ordinator.
