A fortnightly magazine aimed at public sector managers and senior politicians has been launched.
Public Servant, published by PSCSA International, will be distributed to offices at Whitehall, local authorities and other public bodies, with the aim of strengthening links between Whitehall and the regions.
Boris Johnson, editor of The Spectator, BBC political correspondent John Pienaar and Ray Mallon, the former Middlesbrough Mayor famous for his zero tolerance policy, have been signed up as guest columnists.
