Journalist Phil Hall to speak at The Printing Charity's 183rd Annual Luncheon
The Printing Charity is delighted to announce that award-winning journalist and media expert, Phil Hall, is this year’s guest speaker at its 183rd Annual Luncheon, the first to be held under the charity’s new name, on Thursday, 4 November, at the historic Stationers’ Hall, London.
Phil’s distinguished media career includes roles as Editor of News of the World, Editor-in-Chief of Hello! magazine, and Editorial Director of Development for Trinity Mirror, Europe’s largest newspaper publishing group.
He won eight major awards as Editor of News of the World and Hello!, including International Magazine of the Year. He has held influential positions on the Press Complaints Commission and was a judge recently for the highly prestigious UK Press Awards.
Phil makes regular television and radio broadcasts and is a media expert to the BBC, ITN, Sky News, Radio 5 Live and LBC to name a few. He has earned a reputation as a guru in crisis management of the media and is in hot demand as a conference speaker on the topic.
Stephen Gilbert, Chief Executive of The Printing Charity, says: “Our Annual Luncheon always sells out. Don’t miss this opportunity to network, hear Phil’s views on the printed word, and support our work as the national charity for people in the printing and publishing industries.”
Tickets for the Annual Luncheon are priced at £85, the same as last year, and include a drinks reception and a three-course lunch.
