In the News
Hilary Cottam has been interviewed regularly by the mainstream press and been featured as a commentator on the Today Programme, Newsnight, Woman’s Hour, PM, Breakfast TV and Talk Sport.
In 2004 the Observer chose Hilary as a ‘Policy Guru’, one of 80 Britons who would “define the country’s culture, politics and economics for a generation.” In 2009 Fast Company in the US referred to her as a ‘design guru’.
