Bob among first Fellows of new Institute

Bob Wailling, beetroot's managing director, has been made one of the first new Fellows of CiB successor organisation the Institute of Internal Communication.

Fellowship is the Institute's highest honour. It recognises service to the industry at a very senior level over a period of years and is awarded by a panel of distinguished Fellows.

CiB former chairman Ken Runicles, who recommended Bob for Fellowship, praised his "long, sustained and distinguished career in internal communications and the wider world of publishing".

Ken added: "Bob will be a real asset to the Institute as it becomes our industry's most prestigious and influential body."
