17.11.2013 - Arqiva WorldDAB Member - United Kingdom

Glyn Jones runs the UK’s national commercial multiplex, Digital One, and a network of local multiplexes. Glyn’s role includes managing relationships with customers (the radio stations and data companies which broadcast on the multiplexes) and negotiating contracts with new customers.

He started his working life as a radio reporter and programme maker. Prior to joining the commercial radio industry, he worked for the BBC. Glyn Jones was involved in EuroDAB and Eureka 147 (the organisations that preceded WorldDMB). Having been on the Steering Board since the 1990s, Glyn has decided to step down this year and hopes he will be replaced by someone who is more innovative, intelligent and entrepreneurial.

In his spare time he sells earplugs on the internet at www.snorestore.co.uk to customers across the world. Arqiva is a €950 million communications infrastructure and media services company. It’s central to the vital connections people in the UK make every day whether they’re using mobile phones, radio, television or the internet. Arqiva will continue working energetically with WorldDMB to deliver a great technology to consumers and the radio industry.
