Our Story

At Glenvale Media, we believe in the power of stories that sounds — and feels — different.

Founded in Birmingham in 2020, Glenvale was born out of a simple but urgent idea: to create audio content that reflects the full breadth of British life, not just a narrow slice of it. We started with a mic, a mission, and a determination to build something from the ground up — rooted in community, led by culture, and fuelled by creative ambition.

From day one, we set out to platform underrepresented voices and push past the usual formulas. Whether it’s music shows that celebrate diasporic sounds, documentaries that dive into lived experiences, or podcasts that bring marginalised stories into the mainstream — everything we make is intentional, inclusive, and crafted with care.

We didn’t wait to be invited into the room. We built our own.

Our early commissions with the BBC proved that our ideas — and our approach — resonated. Since then, we’ve grown into one of the Midlands’ most respected independent audio production companies. Our team has delivered award-winning radio, developed emerging regional talent, and created content that’s reached national audiences while staying proudly local in spirit.

But we’re just getting started.

As we expand into video, branded content, and cross-platform storytelling, our mission stays the same: to capture, cultivate, and connect — through audio that cuts through, and stories that stay with you.
