FORMER national newspaper editor Eve Pollard will be in Kent next month to talk about being a boss.

Ms Pollard, also an author and television personality, is to give the Kent Annual Management Lecture.

The event, to be held at The Village Hotel, Maidstone, on November 21, starting at 5.30pm, will be chaired by Geraldine Allinson, chairman designate of the Kent Messenger Group.

Ms Pollard will talk about a varied career including her time as one of the first senior women in Fleet Street, launching a magazine in America and being on TV’s Breakfast with Frost.

The event will be hosted by Business Link Kent and the Chartered Management Institute.

Carole Black, BLK events manager, said: "Eve is an extremely entertaining speaker and has been giving talks around the country. We have no doubt that her insightful stories will be a similar success in Kent.

"And we are delighted the event will be chaired by Geraldine, who is soon to become one of the most significant figures in the county’s media."
