Knight 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.

Knight 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.
