I’d like to thank…

Close, but no banana.

Eight spots available on the Open List, I came… ninth. A ridiculously close ninth too, thanks to the voting system used.

Oh well, there’s always 2016. You can see the results on the CIPR web site, as well as the full election report.

Vote Taylor!

After some consideration, I have decided to put myself forward for election to CIPR Council for 2015 & 2016.

Sold!

Let the panic begin!

Front door of my soon-to-be ex-house.

Me? Westminster? Wow.

A day trip to Westminster for the first time, and taking it all in my stride. Trying to, anyway.

One Sunday in Brussels

A figure-of-eight loop from my hotel, north through the gardens near the Library, across to the Park, back via the Cathedral and down to Grand’Place.

New client launch party

Yes, I do get to go out once in a while.

Sophie (l), Sammie (r) and me in the middle, letting it all hang out.

Saturday 9 March saw the press launch party of SW1 Management, a fab ‘n’ groovy new model & events management company, co-Directored by Sophie Walton (ex-Leeds United Ladies, now with Lincoln Ladies).

It’s a shame that the person taking the photo for me couldn’t manage to maintain focus for a few seconds… I like to think I have that effect on women, but truth be told it was a bit dark in Paipa VIP by that time!

Anyway, it was a fun – and brief – time creating the site for them. Still one or two issues to sort out, but they are/were great people to work with, who knew exactly what they wanted and weren’t afraid to change their minds the night before the launch… oh dear.

The Chartered Practitioner trail begins…

Becoming a Chartered PR Practitioner represents a benchmark of professional excellence and integrity, demonstrating the highest standard of knowledge, expertise and ethical practice. I’m still going for it though.
