I’ve just read about your qualifications. It makes me even MORE proud to be a friend of yours! Go Simon! BTW – loving your blog. Working in non commercial at the moment means advertising isn’t high on my list of priorities, but I do love the science behind making radio work. Be it as a sales tool, or creating the perfect phoner….keep ’em coming!
