Just heard from @BaughSimon about his first year at GCS and plans for the future. He is spot on when he says working for gov, (whether central or local) can be so rewarding. Local gov is critical to central gov's ability to reach communities #CiprConf22 – at London, England

Great to hear @BaughSimon talk about all the sterling work that public sector communicators across government have done over the past year. #ciprconf22 #publicsectorproud
