Hugh Salmon and Anthony Stileman

Hugh's career background is in major multinational advertising agencies and for a time managed O&M Thailand, the biggest agency in Asia outside Japan. In 1999 he founded his own advertising agency, eponymously named The Salmon Agency. He lives with his wife and three children in London.

He says: 'I’ve always loved reading, but I seem to have two problems. The first is I can only read when I’m able to give a book my undivided attention i.e. the rare occasions when my two sons and my daughter are out, and the TV is switched off. The other is time. I find it frustrating to read a couple of pages of a book, put it down, then pick it up again later to read a couple more. And if I read before bed I always seem to nod off and lose my place.

But recently I’ve discovered a new trick. My favourite genres on are literary/contemporary and biography/autobiography. So I save the novels for when I can give them my absolute undivided attention, and I listen to the biographies and autobiographies on audiobook. They’re not so plot driven, so they’re great to listen to in a more sporadic fashion.'
