It’s with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of Ian Hickling, co-founder of Revolution Radio, aged 85.

Ian’s passion for radio began back in the 1950s when he first tuned in to foreign stations on his parents’ bakelite radio. That spark turned into a lifetime of innovation, dedication and incredible support for the world of broadcasting.

As one half of the Transplan partnership, Ian helped power over 100 community radio stations across the UK with his unrivalled knowledge of transmission systems. His impact on Revolution Radio – and so many others – was immeasurable.

We are forever grateful for Ian’s vision, expertise and friendship. He leaves behind a legacy that will continue to inspire.

Rest in peace, Ian. You’ll always be part of the Revolution. ❤️📻

Check out our interview with Ojigbani, the visionary Founder and CEO of Mainstream Careers, who has just led his company to a Silver Award for Innovation at the SME National Business Awards. Fred’s journey is an inspiring one—arriving in the UK as a Nigerian immigrant, he faced the all-too-common challenge of finding professional employment without local experience. Rather than accepting the barriers, he built a solution.

Mainstream Careers now trains thousands of individuals in high-demand tech skills, helping migrants and career changers secure roles at major organisations, including the NHS, Bank of England, and National Grid. Fred’s passion for innovation has transformed the company from offering a single course in Coventry to a global leader in IT training.
