Winner
Dave Nicholson
Radio Tyneside Network
"Dave joined Radio Tyneside back in 1973, making this his 40th year with the station. He initially joined as a presenter, but within 18 months was asked to take over running the station, and the rest - as they say - is history. He's organised all aspects of the station from the day-to-day running to training new members in all areas. Over the years, events he's masterminded have generated around £500,000! He's worked hard, most recently, with the NHS Trust to negotiate a move to a new building, which the Trust converted at no cost to Radio Tyneside. Those are just a handful of the many achievements by Dave - a worthy winner!"The John Whitney Award
