Radio Heads
Oxford Business Community Network
LEADERBOARD POSITION: 0
Radio Heads – The Oxford Business Community Network, are a team representing the 100 members of the Oxfordshire based networking group that was set up in 2009. Keeping to the local (and radio) theme, we decided to play on words with the well-known band that was actually formed in Abingdon! We are so pleased to get the opportunity to support such an amazing charity in a very small way, and the bar is an added bonus!
