The Right Trousers

EPSRC, in a bold move, has chosen small business owner Wendolene Ramsbottom to be its Executive Chair.

Sir Mark 'Gimlet' Walport was enthusiastic in his support for EPSRC's new Executive Coach Travel.

'I'm delighted that Wendolene has chosen to join us. Involving SMEs in research and innovation is a key part of the Industrial Strategy. Her knowledge of the wool industry is second to none. What's more, she has unparalleled access to exciting developments in AI, in particular Preston the dog and the Knit-o-Matic machine.

'This will put the UK at the front of global science and window washing technology. Who needs Europe anyway? '

Any similarity to Prof Lynn Gladden is, of course, entirely coincidental.
