Dune Radio is proud to announce that it has been named Best Commercial Radio Station in the North West at the SME Northern Enterprise Awards 2025.

This prestigious recognition celebrates excellence, innovation and impact among small and medium-sized enterprises across the region.

The award recognises Dune Radio’s continued commitment to high-quality broadcasting, strong community engagement, and innovative content that resonates with audiences across the North-West. Over the past year, the station has gone from strength to strength, expanding its reach, strengthening partnerships with local organisations, and delivering compelling programming that informs, entertains and connects listeners.

The SME Northern Enterprise Awards celebrate businesses that demonstrate outstanding performance, creativity and dedication within their sectors. Dune Radio’s win highlights the station’s role as a leading voice in regional independent commercial radio and its positive contribution to the local media landscape.

Andy Hilbert, Content Director of Dune Radio, said:

“We are absolutely thrilled to receive this award. Being named the best commercial radio station in the North-West is a huge honour and a testament to the passion, talent and hard work of the entire Dune Radio team. I’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to our team, advertisers and, most importantly, our listeners, who support us every day. This award belongs to all of you.”

Dune Radio continues to focus on delivering fresh, relevant and engaging content while supporting local businesses, charities and events throughout the region. Offering low cost advertising ensures that relevant products, events and services are accessible to a local audience – effectively filling the gap left behind by rapidly diminishing local newspapers. The station sees this recognition as motivation to keep raising the bar and building on its success in 2026 and beyond.
