Three things you didn’t know about…
Neil Bennett, chief executive of PR group Maitland
1 Neil, City A.M.’s wine columnist and a former journalist, was once photographed for the Times with a lampshade on his head. The shoot was for a feature on DIY.
2 Bennett, an intrepid long-distance runner, has completed 15 marathons on four continents. He finished the 56-mile Comrades ultramarathon in South Africa in 10 and a quarter hours, after which he was hospitalised for two weeks with kidney failure.
3 His wine cellar, under his home in Sussex, contains more than 1,000 bottles of vino. The cellar is kept at 11 degrees and contains a special tasting table.
