Other points to note
I currently chair the voluntary leadership team of media, advertising and marketing networking group, the BPA. I’ve held the post three times and served one term as President. I’ve been involved since 2008. During my first term as Chair, I lead a rebrand of the organisation from the Publicity Association of Central England back to its original name – the Birmingham Publicity Association. I also lead the team through a period of exponential growth in membership signups and charitable donations. More at http://thisistheBPA.co.uk
Outside of work, I am a husband and a father to two daughters. In days gone by I have been lead singer in a rock band and an amateur Shakespearean actor. Definitely helps with the presenting technique.
These days, I enjoy being sociable, staying fit and healthy, riding my motorcycle, listening to music, singing and playing guitar in an acoustic duo and striving to improve my mid-teens golf handicap.
