HOW TO GET AHEAD: My Guru

Ian Southey, planner and buyer at TCS Media, nominates Lyn Long,

managing director of Fox FM



'Fourteen years in the media industry has flown by, yet I still have

fond memories of my first job as a sales assistant at Radio Broadland

(now part of GWR) in Norwich.



'I had a 16-year-old's ideal job - working with a female-only sales

team, headed by a domineering lady called Lyn Long. I ran many bizarre

errands for Lyn, the most memorable and daunting being the purchase of

some lingerie! Unfortunately, the pair of support tights I bought did

not go down too well.



'Despite this early set-back, Lyn set me on a career path with

confidence due to her enthusiasm, energy and integrity. It is no

surprise that she is now MD of one of the Capital Group stations.'



- Leader



- Lively



- Less than lacy.
