Known as the ‘David Attenborough of the business jungle’, Guy Browning is the creator of The Guardian’s Office column, 

presenting Guy Browning’s Small Talk on BBC Radio 4. Some of Guy’s invaluable tips on how to scale the greasy pole

meetings (just tell them you’re in a meeting), and ignore all emails (most of which are bio-degradable).” Guy’s books 

include Weak at the Top (the uncensored diary of the last cavemanager), Never Hit a Jellyfish with a Spade (how to survive 

life’s smaller challenges) and Maps of my Life, which he describes as an autobiography without the bad bits. Guy has also 

brought a new approach to cinema, writing and directing his first film Tortoise In Love, a low-budget romantic comedy 

financed by and starring locals from his own Oxfordshire village.
