I've brought forward the publication of this Mobile Miscellany from Monday because we have so much exciting news!
Dr Mike Short, CBE
Firstly - I'm sure you will join me in congratulating Mike Short on being awarded CBE in today's Queens Birthday Honours. Mike's unstinting in his contribution to so many things and has been a very kind friend and supporter of Mobile Monday London. Congratulations from Mobile Monday London, Mike, so richly deserved.
