He's been working with UK Trade and Investment through Pulford Media and the National School of Government:
"For the last few years Michael Dodd has worked with our people around the world in countries as diverse as Brazil, Russia, China, Japan and over 30 other markets throughout Europe, South America, The Middle East and Asia, helping our commercial teams, diplomats, marketing managers and key spokespeople to capitalise on opportunities for getting their messages across through the news media. His unique, practical style of master class is not only fun and highly regarded by all who have attended, but furthermore has helped us to realise genuine, measurable benefits following his support. Particular examples include his interactive sessions with our embassy team in Beijing, and our Asia-Pacific marketing staff attending our conference at the High Commission in Singapore. I have no hesitation in commending the outstanding work that Michael has delivered for our organisation, and can vouch for the real benefit he has been able to deliver for our organisation."
