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 of £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 
• How 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
