Lobbying explained by former student
A former Homewood School student has written a book that teaches people how to lobby.
Stuart Thomson, 34, has written Public Affairs in Practice, with Dr Steve John, as part of the PR in Practice series, published by Kogan Page.
Mr Thomson, who now lives in London but was raised in Tenterden and still has family here, is hoping that the book will demystify the techniques and background to lobbying, which as a public affairs advisor with a law firm and Parliamentary agency he knows all about.
He said: “I hope it shows the sort of thing we do and how we do it and that it makes it a lot more transparent -we’re an industry like many others.”
The book, published on December 7 and priced £16.99, explains, among other things, how to devise a lobbying strategy.
