    The first coins to feature King Charles III went in to production yesterday featuring the work of sculptor Martin Jennings. Martin was kind enough to let me in to his Oxfordshire studio back in 2014 while he was working on the Mary Seacole statue which now stands outside St Thomas’s…

    The Planner - Marc Vlessing OBE. May cover 2022 I had a fascinating cover shoot in Covent Garden recently for The Planner magazine.

    Stars of Today Tomorrow Today Monday didn’t start well. Taxis had ceased to exist, there was a lovely tube strike. It was raining.  My assistant Francesco and I enjoyed missed trains, wet sweaty sprints and kilometre long queues for black cabs and I  was pleasantly surprised by a migraine on…
