Happy Birthday, Jeremy Bullmore!
Our former Chairman Jeremy Bullmore turned 90 yesterday! He has made a huge contribution to the industry and to mark his special day, our very own Director of Credos Karen Fraser MBE wrote an article on the first time she met Jeremy, the work he did for the Advertising Association, which includes Advertising’s Big Questions, and a very special new collection at the History of Advertising Trust.

Healthier Choices, Healthier Children

Attendees largely consisted of health campaign groups such as Sustain and the Obesity Health Alliance.
