Perago MD, comms and change, ex UK Gov Comms, MCIPR. All things digital, change, comms. And Wales. And beaches.
Love our vintage Christmas fairy. She was always on top of our tree when I was a child. Bit battered and bruised now, but she lives to see another year.

Good luck to everyone heading to the @comms2point0.bsky.social #Unawards in Birmingham today. It was a privilege to be part of the judging.

Sad to be missing it but Chris and Sarah will be repping Perago. Have fun and enjoy a day of celebrating all things good in public sector comms.

We've been working with Caerphilly Council to launch a campaign to tackle recurring questions.

Public sector ways of working and finances aren’t always the most exciting topics, but we’re hoping this campaign will help.

The first video on reserves is here:

I think I will start doing charity takeovers on here when I hit 10,000 followers

My view for lunch today. Kitchen, bar area, kid coming back from school and hanging about in the kitchen for a chat, baby grandchild chuckling through his occasional appearances and a relaxed family vibe. Really did feel like ‘Home’.

Over 10 years ago a chat with @mscaitlinmoran.bsky.social at the Hay festival convinced my mum to join Twitter. Now setting her up on here instead. Welcome to Bluesky @lmlgower.bsky.social

Post work trip, literally across the road, to the Volcano Theatre in Swansea for the opening night of Under Milk Wood.

Following a good night for Welsh football I’m sharing this post from Perago colleague Liam. We sponsor the West Wales Women and Girls’ League and as part of that worked on a rebrand.

I’m biased of course but think it looks really good.

Evidence based policy making, culture wars and the role of effective communication…
I decided to write about 20mph for my Guardian column.

It shows that evidence based policy making does work, but if you get the messaging wrong, you leave the field open for another culture war battle.
Wales’s 20mph speed limit saves lives and money. So why has it become a culture-war battlefield? | Will Hayward

Earlier in the year I wrote a post for @comms2point0.bsky.social on the role of comms in successful service transformation, particularly in local government. Sharing for those of you on here with an interest in these things!

Joined here back in Sept 23. Only person I could find back then was @rorycj.bsky.social and while the Sophie updates were worth the visit in themselves I’ve only just come back over to see what’s happening. And there’s people. And chat. Will hang around a bit.
