The industry's most qualified individual - with some qualifications in the playground
Just who is the industry's most qualified individual, we ask,
following receipt of a dramatic press release faxed through to CJ.
In awed tones, it announces that Michael Bardsley, managing
director of Roland Bardsley, 'has become a fellow of the Institute
of Management.' It continued, just so the message was clearly
rammed home: 'This achievment demonstrates Mr Bardsley's commitment
and ability to help lead the company through to the next century.'
Quite so.
And should we still be in any doubt of Mr Bardsley's intellectual
stature, it adds: 'Michael's other academic and professional
qualifications include' (note that 'include' - clearly there are
far too many to be listed in toto): Master of Science (helpfully
abbreviated to MSc), Bachelor of Education (BEd), Member of the
Chartered Institute of Building (CIoB), Fellow of the Faculty of
Building (FFB) and Fellow of the Institute of Directors
(FInstD).'
Can anyone match this? Dare they?
