FromeFM wishes to thank Falcon Panel Products for their very kind donation of chipboard panelling to our community group. The thick board will be used for the walls and should ensure a solid surface to screw into and help with soundproofing.

The chipboard was delivered by local couriers Gent Transport who delivered the materials for free.

We are still looking for more help in our studio rebuild though. If you are a local building or trade supplier please get in touch. We still require plasterboard sheeting, insulation roll and skirting board.

Please contact matt@nullfrome.fm if you are able to help.

More about Gent Transport

Established in 1974 by John Gent, Gent Transport and Warehousing started as an express delivery company with a single escort van. Due to John’s work ethic and passion for success, the company flourished resulting in Gent Transport and Warehousing moving into household removals, furniture deliveries and storage. In the 1980’s, Gent transport and Warehousing moved its operation to a 10,000 sq ft warehouse in Yate, opposite our current premises, when it was decided to expand into palletised storage and distribution. From here the business thrived and within 5 years Gent Transport and Warehousing had outgrown this site and it was obvious they needed more space to cope with the increasing workload. In 1992 Gent Transport and Warehousing moved across the road to their current premises (65,000 sq ft), which has facilitated their expansion to the company they are today.

With daily deliveries throughout the UK and Europe, Gent Transport and Warehousing have come a long way since those early furniture deliveries and are now ideally positioned to cover all your distribution and storage requirements.

Three new shows start this week on Frome FM.

Wescott’s World is the first of a new bi-weekly lunchtime show from 1200-1300. It’s presented by food and drink expert, hotel staff and management trainer, vintage car enthusiast and Frome resident, Jeremy Westcott. Jeremy first encountered Frome FM as the winner of a charity auction prize to be interviewed on Frome FM by Alex Hawkins, producer of the ‘Homely Remedies’ show. He quickly became seduced by the magic of radio and now has his own take on local and national (and soon international) issues in the entertainment, leisure and motor industries.

Alternating with Wescott’s World every other Wednesday will be Mackett – Geoffrey Mackett looks in depth at some of the community and other organisations and businesses and occasionally controversial issues in the town. With many years in the Royal Navy behind him and several years as an emergency planner with Somerset County Council, Geoffrey, who also presents a world music show on Frome fm, has a depth of experience that is bound to lead to an engaging and interesting listener experience!

And on Fridays, Steve Barton – known to Frome FM listeners over the last few years as ‘Chemical Steve’ (a reference to his previous career as a pharmacist) presents a three hour morning show from 1000-1300. It’s a mix of slightly off-piste music, poetry, and other miscellany with a round up of the weekend events news from 1200-1300.

We wish them all the best and please send in your comments to studio@nullfrome.fm or tweet @fromefm.
