Impressive

I'm not sure if a open sandwich sealed the deal, but James Harding has recruited Ceri Thomas, former Today editor, to the nascent, barely-perceptibly moving Tortoise Media. Ceri is currently polishing the reputation of Oxford University. In 2012 he was acting No 2 at BBC News, and part of the welcome team for Mr Harding when he arrived from The Times. Mr Harding liked him -"He is one of the most impressive journalists I have ever been fortunate enough to work with."
