Train & Consult Ltd is proud to announce that it is now administering
the new Internal Communications Diploma accreditation scheme on behalf
of the British Association of Communicators in Business (CiB). "It
is one of the most rewarding things - mentally, if not financially -
that I have ever done," said Steve Knight. "It has brought
me into contact with internal communications experts throughout industry
and I am delighted that so many top professionals have agreed to back
the scheme. For full details see www.cib.uk.com
Former
Conservative Party chairman Teresa May, environmental campaigner Jonathon
Porritt and union leader Derek Simpson are just three of the big names
contributing to a book on internal communications being written and
edited by Steve Knight and timed to coincide with the British Association
of Communicators in Business (CiB) 60th anniversary celebrations next
year. Steve's historian son David is also involved in the project.
Steve
Knight suffered a painful "industrial injury" while working
on a newspaper at the Farnborough Air Show. "It sounds funny now,
but I went to move my chair closer to the desk and the top plastic part
came away from the metal base," said Steve. "I lost my balance,
sat down in a hurry and caught my left index finger on the sharp metal
tubing at the base of the chair, severing my finger." Steve was
rushed to hospital and, although the half-inch top part of the finger
had been packed in ice, it couldn't be saved. Undaunted, Steve has subsequently
worked on publications for other air shows in the USA and Dubai.
Training
and editorial consultancy continues to go from strength to strength
with Knight Train producing a range of courses and communications reports
for various businesses. Recent clients have included Belgium-based financial
services experts Fortis, Co-operative Financial Services, the Department
for Work and Pensions, HBOS, Western Power Distribution and technology
company Claverham Ltd.

Train and Consult Ltd has retained the editorship of communicators
magazine - flagship publication of the British Association of Communicators
in Business (CiB) - after a competitive pitch.
Headline
writing is the latest course to be launched under the Knight Train
& Consult Ltd portfolio. The half-day course looks at the differences
between writing headlines for news, features, people stories and for
electronic publications. It examines different techniques involved and
offers practical advice on what can and can't be improved.
Steve
continues to work for Rolls-Royce Defence Aerospace and has just been
commissioned for another year to write and sub-edit stories for the
Bristol site's printed newsletter and intranet publication.
