AWARDS
We’re immensely proud that several of our Academy students have gone on to become radio award winners!
The Erewash Sound team have celebrated success at Community Radio Awards (CRAs) ceremonies in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 and hoping for more successes at the 2021 event.
All presenters who picked up awards had their skills triggered and/or developed further at the Erewash Sound Academy.

MARK JARVIS
Mark gained his first experience in radio after training with Erewash Sound Academy in 2016, going on to present regular shows on the Erewash Sound schedule.
Mark earned a Gold Newcomer Award at the 2017 Community Radio Awards and a Gold Male Presenter Award in 2018.
EMMA SNOW
Following her time with the Erewash Sound Academy, Emma has hosted regular shows for Erewash Sound alongside student station Fly FM in Nottingham.

There was more success for Emma in 2019 when she picked up Gold as Under-25 Young Person of the Year.
JEANNIE NICHOLAS
Jeannie was new to radio when she trained with the Erewash Sound Academy and went on to be the regular presenter of the Thursday Afternoon Show but has since gone on to take up other slots across the schedule.
Jeannie was winner of a Gold Young Person of the Year (Under 25) Award at the 2018 Community Radio Awards.
LEWIS ALLSOPP
Lewis joined the Erewash Sound team in 2018, originally as a Summer cover presenter as other team-members took their holidays, but never really left when the Summer was over!
In 2019, Lewis was awarded the Bronze award for Best Newcomer at the national Community Radio Awards – something which he still says he can’t believe to this day!
TOM LAMB
Tom joined the Erewash Sound team in October 2018 and went on to cover a whole variety of different shows, as well as offering his support with behind the scenes bits and pieces too. He is now a regular on the weekday daytime schedule having also presented The 90s Show.
