One Golden Square

If you link to this blog from your own blog, it manifests itself as a ‘pingback’ in the comments below (through ways I’m still a bit unclear about). And all new comments automatically go through manual approval.

So, it was of great interest when I saw http://talktotimlradio.co.uk/ appearing in my comments yesterday, who linked to my post about the end of Virgin Radio. I visited the website, as one does, to see what they’d written.

I wasn’t expecting what I saw… a full blog, from the new owners of the Golden Square-based business, to the staff. The presentation they presented to the staff… photos of the team… a piece from Clive Dickens about his iPod music choice… and the latest posting (above) being “hey, don’t worry about blogging about us if you want”.

A more open and transparent way of a new management team conversing with their staff - and people as a whole - would be hard to find.

In terms of the ownership of that business: my, what a change.
