Sony Music UK celebrates wins at Music Business UK Awards 2025
Sony Music UK is proud to celebrate our incredible team members recognised at this year’s Music Business UK Awards in London.
Glyn Aikins, co-president of RCA UK, and Joe Iddison, A&R director at RCA UK, were awarded A&R Of The Year: Adult Contemporary. This accolade recognises their exceptional efforts in discovering and developing new talent, as well as their influence in shaping the contemporary music landscape, including the success of Myles Smith, who has become one of the defining breakthrough artists of his generation since joining RCA in December 2023.
Sarah Stern, senior A&R admin project manager, was honoured with The Forbesie – A&R Administrator of the Year, recognising her dedication and precision behind the scenes that make creative success possible.
We also celebrate Peter Edge, chairman & CEO of RCA Records, who received the prestigious Sir George Martin Award. In his acceptance speech, Peter shared guiding principles that have shaped his career: trust the artists, be patient as they grow, and take risks to help them change culture.
We are also delighted to announce that our partner, The Orchard, was recognised as Artist & Label Services Company of the Year. This honour underscores The Orchard’s dedication to supporting independent projects and consistently achieving outstanding results.
These achievements reflect the talent and hard work across our teams and partners, driving success for our artists and the wider music community.
