Podcasts are one of the most popular forms of media and entertainment available today. As it currently stands, 7.1 million people listen to podcasts each week in the UK – an increase of 24% over the past year and more than double over the past five years.
We can’t quite believe we’re saying this, but today marks our 24th anniversary as a business.
Social media is an ever-growing fixture in our lives – we spend an average of 2 hours and 23 minutes per day clicking through our favourite apps, and use them to connect with our friends, read the news and find out about current affairs, pop culture and, well, everything else.
"Leaders Create Leaders” is one of The Roland Dransfield Way’s 15 values - values that keep us focused on how we want to conduct business and ourselves. This particular value reminds us that anybody, at any level of seniority or experience, has the ability to lead - and that a great leader creates other leaders throughout their team.

The most important thing in the world right now is supporting our NHS. People are putting their lives on the line daily to make sure we get the chance to live. For this reason, Roland Dransfield is proud to partner with the NHS and Celebrity eSports on the NHS Charities Together Cup, in association with Lynx and PlayStation.
At this moment in time, many of us are feeling cut off.
