Steve Knight has been commissioned to write and edit a book - Thought Leadership … The Rise and Rise Of Internal Communication. The publication is timed to be produced for the 2009 British Association of Communicators in Business (CiB) conference next May and will look back at the organization's last 60 years, as well as charting the changes in the internal communications industry over the period. Historian David Knight is also involved in the project.

Knight Train's consultation arm has been helping the Co-operative Financial Services to improve its, already excellent, open magazine. Editor Danny Fontana contacted Knight Train after attending a course where Steve Knight was the tutor.

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.
"I am delighted," said Steve. "Going to competitive pitch is always nerve-wracking, but designer Amelia Clark and I had been planning our campaign for months and had put together what we believed was a very competitive package.

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 has been delighted, recently, to be part of a team working on two different website projects for the British Government. "The Government is very keen to make sure that all its communication is as clear as possible and it has been great to have been involved," said Steve.

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.
