+ COMMENT: All good things must come to an end

The final October issue of Travel News Update (TNU) will bring to an end Malcolm Ginsberg’s career as a journalist. 

It all started in 1965 as a freelancer working for Autosport, then at its zenith, and supplying Simon Taylor with reports from motor club events.  

Fast forward 60 years (for a full biography see www.ginsberg.co.uk) when he introduced TNU as a monthly newsletter.

Reaching the age of 83 he has decided to begin to fade away.  He will still write, when asked, and will be around to offer his experience and knowledge of the air travel industry.  Also cruising – his first seaborne trip was in 1951. The last issue of TNU, October, conides with his birthday.

Malcolm has always said the requirements for a good life is “what you know, who you know, and luck”.  It has worked for him.

Malcolm - We worked well together at Heavylift in the 1980s and you most certainly inspired me to set up in PR and put my money between my teeth as a freelance. I often asked myself "what would MG have done here " and I wish to thank you for our lengthy friendship - don't stop enjoying yourself just because you've retired!

Miranda K, London

Many congratulations on your well deserved retirement Malcolm! My best wishes to you, and hope you enjoy your cruise!
