Well I nivver

News zings into tradingaswdr HQ from "jez" at Shooting-Star PR; sadly it's not the inside track on the new Controller of BBC1, or the identity of the next Dr Who.

Still it's good news for Bishop Grosseteste University. In Lincoln. Named after the 13th Century theologian and Bishop of Lincoln. It started life in 1862 as a Diocesan Training Centre for Mistresses - that is, teachers. It was granted full university status in December last year. And Roger Mosey, Editorial Director of the BBC, is to be the next, unpaid, chair of the University Council.

Roger is already an Honorary Doctor of Letters at Lincoln University - though I can find no pictures of him in the kit. He joined the BBC as a reporter for BBC Radio Lincolnshire, after a start in broadcasting at Pennine Radio (now The Pulse of West Yorkshire) in Bradford. At Grosseteste, Roger succeeds Haydn Beeken, Area Manager, East of England, Department of Work and Pensions.
