About
Created by Heather Yaxley MIPR.
I am passionate about PR, and as well as consultancy work, I teach the CIPR qualfications, lecture part-time at Bournemouth University and run the Motor Industry Public Affairs Association (MIPAA) Limited.
I’ve recently created the concept of Green Banana - a meme for continous improvement - so if you’ve ideas and news to share, let me know. I’m developing www.greenbanana.biz as an educational resource (currently supporting those studying the CIPR Advanced Certificate and Diploma with Cambridge Marketing Colleges).
My hot topics are public relations, especially in relation to automotive matters and educational issues. I’m passionate about connections and taking a pro-active approach to accelerate learning. I love trivia and bizarre facts too.

Hi Heather,

Really glad to have found this blog - Sally Whittle on the journobiz forum happened to mention it so I tracked it down.
I’m a journalist and author (The Girls’ Guide to Losing Your L Plates - how to pass your driving test and The Girls’ Car Handbook - both published by Simon and Schuster). Years ago I also worked in PR (for charites) and it would be good to get back into doing a bit of it in the motoring sector if possible.
Plan to bookmark your blog!
Best wishes
Maria
