Your weekend reading list

Trevor Beattie, founder partner Beattie McGuinness Bungay, talks about what he's reading at the moment, though it may take a while for you to get your hands on it

Your weekend reading list

We caught up with Trevor Beattie at the 11th CII National Marketing Summit to ask him a question unrelated to the event, on what he's reading at the moment. Here was his response:

"I am currently reading the wartime memoirs of a 91-year old World War II British veteran called Alex Franks. He's dictated his memoirs to a friend - he was a Desert Rat in Libya, and was there at D-Day and Normandy. For me, that's the best thing I'm reading right now, it's an incredibly powerful piece of work. It's his story of the war, and I'm going to get it published this year."
