Mr Rhodes was an award-winning consumer show presenter on BBC Three Counties Radio before leaving his job to unsuccessfully stand for Parliament in Luton.

Now he runs video production company Bullet Point Media from Eaton Bray and will be giving delegates the chance to experience a grilling in a radio interview during a media and PR training afternoon in September.

He said: “Many large companies have PR departments devoted to getting their messages out. Against that, smaller companies struggle to make themselves heard with their limited resources and focus on the day to day job of running a business.

“Our media and PR training afternoon will help small companies level the playing field by giving valuable insights into the workings of real newsrooms.

“Our media training session earlier this year was a huge success and we expect the same level of interest this time round.”

The event will be held at Tilsworth Golf Club, Tilsworth, near Leighton Buzzard, on September 12.

A journalist will also be there to let delegates know what is considered news.

Mr Rhodes added: “We’ve slashed the prices for Federation of Small Business (FSB) members both to support its members and because we’re looking for spokespeople for a forthcoming PR campaign, Although we’re not looking to ‘press gang’ people into it if they don’t want to!”
