A recent graduate from the School of Media has been named on a list of the UK's most promising young radio professionals.
Ben Stones, who currently works as an Assistant Producer for BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 6 Music, has been announced as one of The Radio Academy's 30 Under 30: a list of 'the most talented future stars of radio.'
Ben said: "I'm absolutely ecstatic to have been named as one of The Radio Academy's 30 Under 30 for 2014. It's been such an unbelievable year so to be recognised for all my work is incredible."
"Just under 18 months ago I moved to BBC Radio 2 and 6 Music and since then I've been fortunate enough to work with some amazing people on some fantastic projects – from creating the station sound package for the BBC's first music-based pop-up DAB service, Radio 2 Eurovision, to producing trails and imaging for the inaugural 6 Music Festival and so much more."
Ben and his peers on the '30 Under 30' shortlist will be attending a reception to be held in their honour at this year's Radio Festival in Salford.
