A Staffordshire radio show dedicated to local businesses has launched a new partnership with Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce.
Business Spotlight, which launched in November 2023, is produced by PR firm BabaBaboon and community station Cross Rhythms City Radio. The programme features interviews with businesses across the county and has already welcomed guests including Ironmarket Wealth, Overclockers and legal firm Knights.
From 1 September, the Chambers will sponsor the show to help promote Let’s Do Business – Staffordshire’s biggest annual business expo which returns to Uttoxeter Racecourse on Thursday, 9 October.
Chris Plant, Chief Executive of Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce, said: “Business Spotlight is a great platform to shout about the fantastic businesses we have and we are delighted to be a sponsor of the show.
“As a Chamber we support anything which helps to share business news from our county and we welcome the opportunity to support this further.
“It also represents a fantastic opportunity to shine a spotlight on Let’s Do Business, one of the biggest events in our Chamber calendar, with free delegate tickets available via the website.”
Later this year, Business Spotlight will also celebrate its 100th episode with a special VIP guest from the local business community.
Jonathan Bellamy, Chief Executive of Cross Rhythms City Radio, said: “Business Spotlight is a stand out programme on the radio station, providing snappy insights into the diversity and quality of businesses from our local area.
“It’s not only great radio though, it is a fabulous resource for local businesses, supporting them through giving a voice and platform to showcase themselves further afield.”
Sonya Farrall, host of Business Spotlight and founder of BabaBaboon, added: “It has been an absolute joy to host Business Spotlight and to champion fellow businesses.
“We have welcomed some brilliant guests and to have the support of Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce as we near our second year anniversary is amazing.”
Episodes of Business Spotlight are broadcast on 101.8FM and online, with video and audio interviews also published across social media and YouTube.
