Justin having a long association with the station, praised the work of Shirley Ludford, the station’s manager and for the opportunities it creates for local people.

Justin Tomlinson MP said: "I have long been a supporter of Swindon 105.5 community radio which does a fantastic job in providing great opportunities for people facing challenges, to volunteer at the studio and gain valuable experience. It also provides a fantastic broadcast service for everybody in our town. Most of this work is down to the hard work and dedication of Shirley Ludford who does an invaluable job as station manager.”

Shirley Ludford said: “We have seen thousands of people of all ages and abilities coming in to the Station during the past nine years, seeing great personal achievements. Finalising our training studio and naming it the Daniel Gooch Studio is a very fitting way of celebrating this anniversary, linking with Swindon 175 and the town we serve.”
