Joined in the studio by Sylvia Kent for this months book club along with Lorna Slade.
Lorna has been a journalist for 34 years, starting on a trade magazine, Chemistry in Britain, and moving between PR, trade magazines and working for large global blue chips in their corporate communications departments (including Unilever, HSBC, INSEAD business school and British American Tobacco). During her career she has also worked as a reporter on The Observer, having freelanced for them for a few years and for the Sunday Times. And now I’m back to trade magazines working for Rail Professional, which she’s been editor of for four years.
