We suspect that some may think we hand-pick the staff who appear in our blog pages, selecting only those who will say nice things about us.  That’s certainly not the case as they have all volunteered to tell us about their life and work – although we are pleased to say that (so far!) every one of them has said nice things too!  Meet Katherine Jones, Lecturer in Event Managements…
