Somewhat delighted – and still a bit surprised, though I have been keeping the news secret for a few weeks – to have been made a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations.

Full story on the CIPR web site.

Many thanks to Paul Amourdedieu, Stefan Casey and Rebecca Benn for the nomination; and to the many people Paul tells me he rounded up to get testimony from; and to the people who have emailed, texted or tweeted congratulations today.

I promise to only use my new-found powers to annoy.
