Posted on The world of work is not always local. Many organisations operate globally with head offices located in one country and satellite offices in others. Technology today means we are connected no matter what and since the beginning of the global pandemic, working anywhere (at home mainly) has been made possible because of the technology we […]
Posted on Everyone can give back, even in the tiniest of ways. From being little, my Mum taught me that you don’t need to have much to help others. In our house, that might have been giving someone a bed for the night or surrendering something to allow someone more in need to have it. It’s an […]
Posted on By James Knight. Public Relations is a professional art, if applied correctly. We probably all have our views what correct, it’s up to you.

If you’re unsure how mentoring might work my personal experiences may help you on your way.

Posted on By Katie Marlow. Back in 1999 I graduated from Bournemouth University. With my hard-earned PR degree I headed off to get a job. I was so pleased with myself. My head of sixth form had written me off, quite brutally telling my Mum I’d amount to nothing. Those words burned. I’d really not enjoyed my school days.
