I have been discussing awards with three different magazine editors this month. Across the three titles, it transpires that there were circa 1,000 entries last year – not bad considering the pandemic factor! 1000! Trust me, this is NOT usual. Why?

It isn’t every day that I’m introduced as the warm up act for Piers Morgan. Or that I find myself agreeing with him. However, this “Winsday” I’m back at the same venue, The Vox, here in Birmingham, for another major business event and this morning’s topics included a major focus on positioning and status. …
My client, Gary Digva, Director and Visionary at Road Angel called me with a problem, a problem that swiftly became an opportunity.
