This week I caught up with Francis Ingham CEO of The PRCA. This is the latest in a series of PRmoment Podcasts with some of the leading lights of UK PR. The PRCA has grown from an organisation with revenues of £700K to one of nearly £3.2m during Ingham's ten-year tenure. Francis and I discuss:

  • How he was brought up on a Manchester council estate 
  • Why he hated school and refused to go for year Why he left home and school at 16 and spent two years living in the local catholic hostel 
  • How the headmaster at his school subsidised his education 
  • How he got into Oxford University 
  • Why he’s always been good at "arguing back!"
  • How his time at Oxford shaped his passion for politics 
  • Why he left the CIPR for the PRCA 
  • His greatest achievement at The PRCA What’s next in Francis Ingham's career path
