Opening new doors is almost always a good thing to do. One should never be frightened to open up new opportunities.

It has just been announced that I am the new Editorial Director of RAW Food and Drink PR - which is a wonderful opportunity for a journalist like me in these times when the entire media landscape is changing. 

I have never worked for a public relations company before, but I know the team at RAW and believe the company is one of the most forward-thinking, intelligent and humble operations of its kind in South West England if not the entire UK.

So we’re going to be opening up new channels through which we can tell the stories of clients, and others besides.

However, if I am ever paid directly to put something on this website I will announce that on the page - or make it clear that a certain company mentioned is a client. 

At the moment and for the foreseeable future there is no paid for content in these pages. 

Anyway, I thought I’d talk about opening new doors with RAW - partly because it gives me an excuse to put up photographs of delightful doors I’ve spotted in countries all around the world over the years…
