This week I caught up with Francis Ingham CEO of The PRCA. This is the latest in a series of PRmoment Podcasts with some of the leading lights of UK PR.

The PRCA has grown from an organisation with revenues with £700K to one of nearly £3.2m during Ingham's ten year tenure.

Francis and I discuss:

• How he was brought up on a Manchester council estate
• Why he hated school and refused to go for year
• Why he left home and school at 16 and spent two years living in the local catholic hostel
• Why the headmaster at his school subsidised his education
• How he got into Oxford University
• Why he’s always been good at “arguing back!”
• How his time at Oxford shaped his passion for politics
• Why he left the CIPR for the PRCA
• His greatest achievement at The PRCA
• What’s next in Francis Ingham’s career path
