News & Views deadlines

We are getting more and more articles each month for inclusion in News & Views - which is great, but we cannot possibly accommodate them all. For your article to be in with a better chance of being included PLEASE send your idea or your information to Corporate Communications way before the deadline dates mentioned in each edition of News & Views.

We do want to include as many of your stories as possible and the earlier we have your information the more chance we have of changing page layouts to accommodate it.

Any queries please ring Rachael Ellis on ext: 3084 or Emma Leech on ext: 6530.

Thanks.
