A working day in the life of Ron Knapp, Secretary General of the International Aluminium Institute

摘要

My day starts with Sky News 6 am headlines while scrolling through the Blackberry to check on the overnight e-mail traffic. With a global membership and engagement, the International Aluminium Institute (IAI) has contact with someone in almost every time zone. Out the front door by 7.15 am, I am very fortunate to be able to walk to work - a 20 min period that allows the brain to start processing the tasks for the day. One of the criteria for finding a place to live when I moved from Australia, back to London at the end of 2008, was for an inner-city apartment, close enough to walk to the office rather than relying on any form of public transport.
