NorthStandard to hit the airwaves at LISW23

NorthStandard, formed by the recent merger between North P&I Club and the Standard Club, will be making (radio) waves during London International Shipping Week 2023 (LISW23) as the sponsor of the first ever LISW Daily Radio Show.

To be broadcast live from 7am to 8am from Monday to Thursday during LISW23, the radio show will set the scene for each day with interviews, features and commentary on the key issues facing the global shipping industry.

Politicians, industry leaders and key decision makers in the maritime sector will be invited to participate and give their views.

Llewellyn Bankes-Hughes, Director of Shipping Innovation and co-founder of LISW, said the radio show would deliver news and views surrounding LISW23 to those attending the week in person as well as those tuning in online.

“The idea of the radio show is to keep all delegates attending LISW23, and those listening from elsewhere, fully up to date with events during the week. The show will feature special interviews with invited guests as well as magazine style features to get each LISW23 day off to the right start. It will also include market updates and weather reports.

“The daily radio show is a first for LISW but we couldn’t do this without the support of our sponsors, so we are delighted to be working with our friends at NorthStandard on this important and exciting media platform. Listeners will be able to tune in via the LISW23 website or via links on social media, either live or via catch up throughout each day. Further details about the links will be publicised in the next few weeks,” he said.

Commenting on the partnership, Rob McInally, Global Director of Marketing & Communications at NorthStandard, said: “We are delighted to be the first sponsor for the LISW23 daily radio show. London International Shipping Week has grown to play such an important role in the international shipping calendar over the last decade and we are proud that NorthStandard can support the event in our inaugural year.”
