Andy Greaves, Head of Digital for Debrett's Ltd. The UK's authority on etiquette, taste and achievement.

Realised I made a mistake by editing the Debrett's page on Wiki, due to Conflict of interest. But the information about Debrett's is very old and needs updating as per my contributions. If Wikipedians agree with my recommended changes hopefully they'll allow me to change it without reverting back to old content.

We no longer publish the Pink Ribbon Diary, so I'd like to remove this line so as not to mislead. Debrett's also produces The Pink Ribbon Diary, with the endorsement and in support of Breakthrough Breast Cancer, the UK's leading charity committed to fighting breast cancer through research and education.
