Rob Calder

CEO of @SSA_Addiction. Views my own.

[Rob Calder @RobCalder3]

Jess very kindly removed the ums, ers and head scratching to make me (almost) sound articulate. It's been a hugely enjoyable first few months and I'm incredibly grateful to get to work for the @SSA_Addiction in this role.

The SSA's Social Media Specialist, Jess Richmond, caught up with @RobCalder3 to find out more about his background in treatment services and to hear his reflections on the organisation's new vision. Read it here: https://t.co/Ev3bbmk11D...

@CasyCalver Ha. Well sure, we could have done that if we'd had stands, banners and fancy things like that. We had to make do with some A4 paper and a small pack of assorted felt tip pens (plus missing lids). Simpler times, and better in many ways. Hope you had a fun conference @CasyCalver.
