About The Customer
Radio Plus is a thriving community radio station based in Coventry, broadcasting since 2010. Known for its commitment to inclusivity and empowerment, Radio Plus was honoured with the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service in 2016, recognising its outstanding contribution to the local community. In partnership with Levytate, the station also plays a vital role in developing young talent, supporting individuals aged 16 – 30 through its Content Producer Apprenticeship programme aimed at providing hands-on experience in the media industry.
Identifying the challenges
Despite their commitment to nurturing media talent, Radio Plus hit a significant barrier — the lack of training resources. Without the appropriate resources, they were unable to deliver training courses or generate revenue by hiring out the space for community workshops. This restricted their ability to fully realise their mission and hindered the growth of their training programmes.
Delivering a solution
To transform the space into a state-of-the-art media training and community hub, we worked closely with the team at Radio Plus to deliver a comprehensive Audio-Visual solution tailored to their needs.
We installed five 86″ Clevertouch UK Pro Edge interactive displays, four of which were mounted on mobile trolleys to allow flexible use of space, while one was wall-mounted for a more permanent fixture. All displays were equipped with Clevercast wireless sharing, enabling seamless collaboration and content sharing during training sessions and workshops.
In addition, we fitted two LG 65″ wall-mounted digital signage displays, powered by Clevertouch PICO XI Signage Players. This gave Radio Plus the capability to run dynamic digital signage across the facility, supporting communication, branding and engagement with their various stakeholders.
“The Clevertouch displays and digital signage have had a big impact… it really has given us an edge over anyone else in our area that offers community training spaces. It really has helped us engage with different partners and how they operate.”

The Impact
The transformation has had a profound impact on Radio Plus and the community it serves. With a fully equipped, professional training facility, they can now deliver high-quality training sessions, host community events, and maximise the use of their space through rentals, all supported by modern, user-friendly technology.
“I would absolutely recommend working with Rapid. The sort of product range they have is fantastic, it is state-of-the-art and their product knowledge is great. Our experience has been second to none.”
