I’m Rob Skinner. My family know me as Robert. My wife calls me Ert. (The part of ‘Robert’ that I don’t always use…)
I’ve been working in PR since 1987, mostly in financial services.
In my spare time, I enjoy cycling reading, editing videos on my computer and practising my Welsh (dwi’n dod yn wreiddiol o Gaerdydd). And blogging.
Do please post a comment!

Dear Rob,
I have just read your piece about Doug Smith; This morning someone told me that they had heard that he had died so I “googled” his name hoping it wasn’t true. I have known Doug and Diana since 2003. My partner, the top Photographer Robin Humphreys who died (was killed) in June 2011, aged 63, had known and worked with him for years in Parliament. Like you I last saw Doug in July 2012.
It is the end of an era now with Robin and Doug both gone.
Yzabel.

So sorry to read of your own, earlier loss, Yzabel. Thanks for your moving comment.
