Disclosure

This is a full disclosure as at 1 July 2009.

I am employed by the BBC. Views expressed are personal, and not those of the BBC. As a senior manager within the BBC, it is to be expected that most of the time, I'll post in support of my employer and team; but not always.

I am the sole director and founder of Not At All Bad Ltd, which has a primary product, Media UK. Virtually all of the income to Not At All Bad Ltd is from Google AdSense. I have spoken at a Google AdSense conference as an (unpaid) guest, and use many Google products, some of which I pay for. From July 1 2009, this personal blog, including feeds, includes limited Google AdSense advertising.

I am a trustee and director of The Radio Academy Ltd, which is a registered charity dedicated to the encouragement, recognition and promotion of excellence in UK broadcasting and audio production.

Under my direct control are small shareholdings in UBC plc and STV Group plc. My shareholdings in these companies total less than £1,000. The majority of my investments are in shares and funds which are controlled and monitored on my behalf by an investment company.

I speak at a wide variety of global conferences and events, usually on behalf of my employer. I accept assistance with travel and accommodation. I never accept speaking fees (and I request this money is given to my nominated charity).

I never accept payment (whether cash or in-kind) for blog postings.

During my work I occasionally receive product samples and minor hospitality - a free radio perhaps, or an invitation to drinks or a party. I will make this clear in postings around those companies if it is relevant and suitably recent.
